What Happened To Gopher?

nullspace asks: "Before the World Wide Web caught on, I initially browsed through many gopher sites. I have since then been distracted from those sites because of the growth of the WWW. The other day a thought occurred to me: whatever happened to gopher? Do people still run those servers? It would interesting to see those sites for posterity's sake." I remember gopher. I always thought the Web was a much richer medium, and that for gopher-like behavior you could always use lynx, that might just be my cynical side showing through.
