gopher is not dead and it has evolved into the gemini protocol https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

BBS are alive and well in the communities of the tildeverse https://tildeverse.org/

More like evolved, the Pubnix/SDF guys took it and it created something similar but privacy being mandatory with SSL.

On BBS', ssh/telnet synchro.net or gopher cvs.synchro.net.

People is alive and posting well. Ditto with usenet.
