'''Aywen''' is a French YouTuber. In December, he created the website TextBoard.fr, a [[Similar Sites to OWOT|clone]] of [[Your World of Text]], as a social experiment, and ran it as a four-day event from December 14–18, 2024. This caused the Aywen Migration, with new users surging into Our World of Text and Your World of Text.

== Discovery ==
TextBoard.fr was discovered on December 15, 2024, by [[Mr. 1052]], who labeled the site "french owot". However, TextBoard.fr more accurately resembles Your World of Text.

== Aywen Migration ==
Almost immediately after the opening of TextBoard.fr, users began surging into Your World of Text, and to a lesser extent, Our World of Text itself.

=== Lemuria ===
[[Lemuria]] led efforts to manage the new users; setting aside the /aywen world for Aywen's userbase and communicating with the French-speaking moderators using machine translation tools and an alternate account.{{efn|As Lemuria is in 140 Discord servers at the time, having exceeded the typical 100 limit during a brief period in late 2024 when he won a few months of Nitro from a giveaway, and now had no Discord Nitro, he is unable to join any additional servers and must use an alt account to do so instead.}}

Xernas was the first Aywen moderator to enter the OWOT Discord server. His statement in Aywen's Discord server that /aywen had been allocated to Aywen's userbase was the primary cause of activity 

Aywen's userbase was noted by FP and Lemuria as being unusually adept at scripting; they were able to paste Braille images and large advertisements in less than an hour. The /aywen world peaked at 20 users.

In the evening of December 21, 2024{{efn|The event ran from 21:00 to around 22:30 UTC+1, while for Lemuria it was December 22, 04:00 to 05:30.}}, Lemuria was invited to speak on an event held by Xernas discussing development. As he was uncomfortable with using his voice, he instead prepared a textual statement machine-translated into French about YWOT, OWOT, and his involvement on the site.

<blockquote>
a very brief history of owot, ywot, and my involvement

andrew badr launched ywot on august 2, 2009 as an art project. badr first created owot in 2010 as a site for unrestricted scripting, as opposed to ywot. but he shut it down in august. then, infraraven began working on a new version of owot and added more features to it.

then in october 2017 a new version got made, using node.js and now it is maintained by "FP"{{efn|Quotes were added to prevent mistranslation by DeepL; FP was mistranslated to "PC" and even "Parliament" on one occasion.}}, a developer.

and on february 25, 2023, owot became open source.

i discovered owot in november 2023 because someone spammed a link to it on another website i was using at the time, and so i checked owot out.

i came back again in february 2024 and i am also now running a newspaper for the website, called "[[our world of news]]"{{efn|Quotes were added to prevent calque translation by DeepL.}}

un bref historique de l'owot, de l'ywot et de mon implication

andrew badr a lancé ywot le 2 août 2009 en tant que projet artistique. badr a d'abord créé owot en 2010 en tant que site pour des scripts sans restriction, par opposition à ywot. mais il l'a fermé en août. ensuite, infraraven a commencé à travailler sur une nouvelle version d'owot et y a ajouté plus de fonctionnalités.

en octobre 2017, une nouvelle version a été créée, utilisant node.js et maintenant maintenue par « FP », un développeur.

et le 25 février 2023, owot est devenu open source.

j'ai découvert owot en novembre 2023 parce que quelqu'un a spammé un lien vers lui sur un autre site web que j'utilisais à l'époque, et j'ai donc vérifié owot.

je suis revenu en février 2024 et je gère maintenant un journal pour le site web, appelé « our world of news » (notre monde de nouvelles)
