'''fp''' (also stylized as '''FP''') is the creator, lead developer and only active admin of [[Our World of Text]]. He is tasked with maintaining the server and client, managing certain events (including the New Year's countdowns and April Fools events), cleaning up the front page, and protecting OWOT from both external and internal threats.

fp is an administrator on the [[OWOT Discord]] server. He uploads screenshots to the [[OWOT Discord##screenshots|#screenshots]] channel almost daily and makes sure the server is kept safe from spammers and outside threats.

== History ==

=== Your World of Text ===
<blockquote>"''The origin of "FP" dates back to May 2015. I wanted to create an account on YWOT that archives the protected center box on the front page. The plan was to copy the entire box and paste it into protected areas on the page. I registered ~FP and began to paste the archives I already had in one of my folders. "FP" is an acronym of "Front Page". I continued to archive until Summer of 2015.''"</blockquote>FP found [[Your World of Text]] in ~2014 and would have been considered a newbie at the time, compared to users like [[InfraRaven]] and [[Mr.Guy|Mr. Guy]] who have been around since ~2011.

He is known on YWOT for archiving pieces of the site's history on his worlds. At one point Andrew was impressed enough with his efforts to link [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~fp /~fp/] on the site's center console.

In July of 2015 FP witnessed a complete reset of the YWOT mainpage following a massive wave of spam. By the end of the year, he had thought that YWOT was "done for, finished."

=== Creating Our World of Text ===
FP began working on an YWOT clone named NodeWorldOfText in mid-2016. In 2017 the project was noticed by InfraRaven, who offered to host it under the "ourworldoftext.com" domain. The name "NodeWorldOfText" was later given to the open-source version of OWOT.

== Administrative Functions ==
<blockquote>"''I plan on continuing to develop OWOT until I die.''" - '''FP, in an [https://ourworldoftext.com/Interview_with_FP interview] with AndreiXYZ'''</blockquote>

=== Updates ===
'''''<small>*See [[Weekly Briefing]].</small>'''''

Notable updates to the site include:

* ????, 2024: Removing the Global Chat from the Mainpage
* ????, 2024: Enabling the changing of cell background colors on the Mainpage
[[File:Fp rollback.jpg|thumb|261x261px|FP talking about rollbacks]]

=== Moderation(OWOT) ===
{{main|Moderation}}
As OWOT tracks every edit made to its canvas, FP has the power to trigger rollbacks whenever spam gets out of hand. He can also place rate limits on specific users — or on certain areas of the canvas — to curb destructive scripting or any activity that puts a strain on the server. In addition to this, FP regularly bans users for disruptive spamming.

Edits on [[World|subworlds]] are tracked as well, and users can request FP to perform rollbacks on their pages. Importantly, however, there is an option for world owners to turn off edit tracking. FP encourages users to do so in the event that they have a long-running script(Ex. Lime's radio) on their pages, so as to not clog up storage. If they do not comply then he will resort to turning it off himself. This is stated to be the only instance where FP will temper with other users' worlds.

FP is currently the only active moderator on OWOT, meaning that the canvas is still greatly chaotic despite his best efforts. There are several other admins along with a group of users with member permissions on the Mainpage(''i.e. being able to create member-only tiles''), but almost all of them are inactive as of 2024. On one occasion [[Poopman]] privated the entire site in order to protect it from ?????. This is among the only instance of an administrative action performed by someone other than FP.

For years there have been petitions for FP to appoint new admins or give moderation powers to trusted users. Nothing has been done about this so far, with FP presumably being distrustful of giving out administrative power.

=== Moderation(Discord) ===
FP is frequently criticized for not appointing any new moderators on OWOT, and especially on the [[OWOT Discord]], which is intended to be a far more controlled environment. Most OWOT admins were admins on the Discord as well, though they tend to be as inactive there as they are on the site itself. Notably, the (former) admin [[Sammich]] was notorious for only sending 15 messages between 2017 and 2025. Facts such as these have prompted accusations of favoritism from the userbase, since all admins before 2024 were appointed purely on basis of being friends with FP while the site was being developed.

After much pressure, FP appointed a veteran scripter named [[Fernsy]](''formerly Yagton'') as an admin on the server. Today Fern is in charge of the majority of moderation on the OWOT Discord.

FP also runs a <u>#screenshots</u> channel where he archives interesting snapshots from Spawn.

FP changes the names of all Discord channels on April's Fool(''Ex. <u>#screenshots</u> -> <u>#shotscreen</u> and <u>#trash</u> -> <u>#treasure</u>'').

=== Events/Holidays ===
FP changes the Center Console for most holidays.

On New Year's Eve, he hosts a live countdown for every timezone. *'''''<u><small>See the 2023 New Year's Countdown [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c3FYctPPBg here].</small></u>'''''

== Relations With Other Users ==

=== Anon_guy and Dzeni ===
<blockquote>"''Eventually, anon_guy and Dzeni expressed interest in my YWOT clone and I continued to work on it.''

''Anon_guy offered to run my clone on his server for a few days and we talked on there and experimented around with scripts.''

''Eventually, the codebase got progressively worse and I eventually had to scrap the whole project and start fresh.''

''However by then, we had already lost interest in this YWOT clone and we weren't planning on putting more work into it.''"

- '''FP during his interview with Andrei'''</blockquote>In 2016, Anon_guy and [[Dzeni]] were the first users who took note of FP's [[NodeWorldOfText]] project, which later went on to become OWOT.

=== InfraRaven ===
<blockquote>''"Eventually, InfraRaven caught notice that I was making a YWOT clone and wondered why I didn't tell him about it.''

''He offered to run my clone on one of his spare servers, and the rest is history."''

- '''FP during his [https://ourworldoftext.com/Interview_with_FP interview] with Andrei'''</blockquote>[[InfraRaven]], though not an active admin, is considered the co-owner of OWOT as he hosts the site on his server. Notably, OWOT's sister website OWOP is hosted on the same server

=== Andrew Badr ===
The largely inactive developer of YWOT. In April of 2025 FP contacted [[Andrew Badr]] to alert him of a false phishing warning that had been placed upon both of their sites.

=== Fern ===
Fern has taken care of most administrative functions on the Discord ever since her appointment in 2024, though she would still report issues to FP on certain circumstances.

=== AndreiXYZ ===
[[File:Interview with fp.png|thumb]]
<blockquote>"''I mean, my internet career has definitely evolved a lot, I've gotten engaged in more big''

''communities thanks to the friends I've met on this platform. But I really like''

''OWOT's concept, and pretty much all of its sister websites' too. I look up to you,''

''especially since you singlehandedly made OWOT when you were 14, a feat I would''

''never be able to achieve, I mean heck, you started development in mid-2016, when''

''you were 13 years old.''"

- '''Andrei during his interview with FP'''</blockquote>Andrei [https://ourworldoftext.com/Interview_with_FP interviewed] FP in October of 2023(a.k.a. ''the 6th anniversary of OWOT'').

It is highly recommended that you read through the interview in its entirety, but some (summarized) snippets include:

* '''Q:''' '''[What is the story behind OWOT's creation?]'''
** '''A:''' [I began working on OWOT in mid-2016, but lost interest in mid-2017. I restarted the project after talking to Dzeni and Anon_guy, who offered to host it on their server; but the development process was still greatly inefficient and I had to remake the entire repository every time I wanted to make the change. Then InfraRaven caught wind of the project and offered to run it on one of his spare servers, and the rest is history.]
* '''Q:'''  '''Have you ever felt that OWOT would go nowhere in terms of popularity while you were developing it.'''
** '''A:''' Back when I first started working on OWOT, I never anticipated anybody beyond my small group of friends on YWOT using it. Even during OWOT's first couple of months, hardly anybody ever used it. The community organically grew at a slow pace over the span of a couple years.
* '''Q:'''  '''Have you had any difficulties or burnout or wanted to make a feature but it was just out of your devskill's reach?'''
** '''A:''' By November of 2017, I was already burned out from developing OWOT and nearly dropped out of developing it. By sheer miracle, I picked up work on OWOT again and started refactoring the codebase here and there.
* '''Q:'''  '''Are you ever going to quit working on OWOT? Like, will you ever pass the torch to someone else, InfraRaven perhaps, as he's the one hosting the domain, or maybe some other staff member like Mr.Guy? I wonder how many generations OWOT will last, well, before getting a visit from the FBI for the actions the community has done there. I'm joking, of course.'''
** '''A:''' I plan on continuing to develop OWOT until the day I die. I'm not aware of any viable heir to OWOT since I'm not aware of anybody else who's as interested in OWOT as I am. By then, who knows? maybe there'll be people lining up to take my torch should the need arise.Maybe a competitor will spring up, leading to owot becoming too irrelevant for anybody to want to "inherit." This is surprisingly common in the software world - I've seen developers for libraries who still continue to maintain that library decades later.

== Beyond OWOT ==
Outside of Our World of Text, FP has a few roles. He actively maintains an upcoming avatar game led by InfraRaven called Spooks and has started working on the Uvias client.

Both his {{wp|Discord}} and {{wp|GitHub}} {{wp|usernames}} are '''System2k'''.

=== Your World of Text ===
On YWOT, FP is primarily known his efforts to archive the site's Mainpage. His userpage is linked on YWOT's Center Console.

Since 2015, the base world [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~fp/ /~fp/] has recorded changes made to YWOT's center console; it served a similar role to [[Archive Worlds|OWOT archive pages]] like AndreiXYZ's [https://ourworldoftext.com/center_console_history /center_console_history] and [https://ourworldoftext.com/mch_complete /mch_complete]. A series of large Mainpage snapshots(''up to 1000 coordinates on all sides'') can be found at [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~fp/photographWorlds /~fp/photographWorlds]. A collection of smaller snapshots of Spawn can be found at [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~fp/waybackYWOT /~fp/waybackYWOT].

Though he does not have admin permits, FP is the closest thing YWOT has to an active moderator now that Andrew Badr is dormant. In 2022 he restored YWOT's Mainpage after two [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Kubex300 large scaled griefs] that destroyed [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/The_Void hundreds of coordinates of text]. When asked, FP reassured that he had a backup of the entire Mainpage from 2020.

FP also filed a report to Cloudflare after YWOT was [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Cloudflare_Incident falsely flagged for phishing] at the beginning of 2025.

=== Our World of Pixels ===
Though FP is largely inactive within OWOP, he did create a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueq_qK54fOs timelapse] for the site from 2018 to 2022.

FP owns Uvias along with InfraRaven and OWOP's lead developer [[Eldit]].

=== Weird FP Messages ===
Since FP usually talks in a formal tone, user [[e_g.]] decided to make a thread to collect his weirder messages.

[[AndreiXYZ]] has criticized the thread, saying that "''[FP's] a human too he isn't some serious ass multitrillionaire company CEO who uses ultra strict language proper grammar punctuation no capitalized words no memes no slang no swear words no nothing just grumpy serious ass mf yall are autists.''"<gallery>

Purchasable items include:

* Smashing Fingers - 1 FP
** ''"FPs per clicks slightly increased and the divider gets the amount of FPs per click removed from it."''
* MS-DOS - 10 FPs
** ''"Computers generate twice the amount of FPs."''
* Finished - 1 billion FPs
** ''"Congrats kid, you have beaten the first version of this game!"''
* DOS Machine - 2 FPs
** Passively produces FPs; the amount of computers you have is indicated by a computer icon at the top of the screen.
