~~== Introduction ==~~

'''[https://textwall.cc TextWall]''' was a text canvas website launched in February 2020 by [https://duckgroup.xyz Duck]. It has some advantages to [[OWOT]], such as a modern and intuitive graphical user interface, different fonts, smooth scrolling and everyone's cursors visible without a nametag script, but also some disadvantages such as the limited number of colors, and the text canvas being so much smaller than OWOT's. TextWall has been shut down indefinitely as of 2025.

'''[https://textwall.cc TextWall]''' is a text canvas website launched in February 2020 by [https://duckgroup.xyz Duck]. It has some advantages to [[OWOT]], such as a modern and intuitive graphical user interface, different fonts, smooth scrolling and everyone's cursors visible without a nametag script, but also some disadvantages such as the limited number of colors, and the text canvas being so much smaller than OWOT's. TextWall ~~is still in active development~~ as of ~~2023~~.

Users who use the website are called "textwallers" by OWOT users.

== Controversy ==

Many ~~OWoTers~~ (especially anons) dislike Textwall, even going ~~to the extent of~~ making death threats to Textwall users and spamming the website using scripts. Each anti-Textwaller has their own reason for disliking Textwall. Many dislike the site because of its younger user base which comes onto OWoT and “ruins it”.

=== November 2021 ===

On November 1st, 2021, TextWall briefly shut down for a few hours. It was reported that the lead developer lost interest in the website in the spur of the moment after some spamming raids. Shortly after the server went down, the DNS records for ~~textwall.cc~~ and its derivatives were deleted and TextWall was removed from the DuckGroup website. After the website was reinstated, the main page was mostly erased, and only registered users could write on any page. Registration was closed for a while.

=== June 2023 ===

On June 24th, 2023, TextWall briefly shut down again until the next morning. This is assumed to have occurred in the spur of the moment right after a battle ~~with~~ two scripters ([[falling1]] and [[KKosty4ka]]). Shortly after the server went down, the DNS records ~~for textwall.cc~~ were deleted. After the website was reinstated, only whitelisted users could access the site. The next day, access was granted to everybody, and a CAPTCHA to access the website was added.

=== June 2024 ===

On June 9th, 2024, TextWall briefly shut down following instances of soyjak.party ~~members~~ flocking to it. Several worlds were created ~~with~~ most ~~being~~ filled with braille pastes and the usual Soyjak markings. The site was restored on June 13th with "Welcome to ~~textwall"; "~~Sorry for the downtime" written in the center. Additional features included an Explore tab in the settings panel which lets users search for publicly listed worlds under a given username, and the lack of ability to see the total number of users site-wide.
