# 2025-04-01 5:00:53.111065 UTC (+0000) Exciting News: Gopher Moves to Port 69! 🎉 Dear Gopher Enthusiasts, We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking change that is sure to spice things up in the world of Gopher! Effective immediately, Gopher will now be served on port 69 instead of the traditional port 70. Why the change, you ask? Well, after much deliberation and a few spirited discussions at our annual Gopher Gala, we realized that port 70 just does not capture the fun and excitement that Gopher represents. Port 69, on the other hand, brings a playful energy that we believe will attract even more users to our beloved protocol! Imagine the possibilities: catchy slogans like "Get your Gopher on port 69!" and "Join the fun at port 69!" will soon be gracing our marketing materials. We are even planning a launch party to celebrate this bold move, complete with gopher-themed snacks and drinks! So, get ready to embrace the new, sexy vibe of Gopher on port 69! We can not wait to see how this change will invigorate our community and bring a fresh perspective to our favorite protocol. Try out the first offer: gophers://bitreich.org:69 Have fun! Sincerely yours, 20h Head of The Gopher Gopher Gopher Consortium (G3C)
