'''/''' is the world accessible at the URL <code>https://ourworldoftext.com/</code>.

== Square of Publicity ==
{{See also|Spawn}}
At the center of the / world (i.e., <code>X: 0, Y: 0</code>) is the '''Square of Publicity''' ('''SoP'''), also known as the '''Center Console'''. It is a section two [[tile]]s wide and two tiles tall with a space to type in the center, the rest being member-protected. The member-protected part hosts various links and scripts, as well as the WOTD. It's usually the first target of spam since almost everyone wants to type in it and it's the first thing one sees upon joining OWOT.

Worlds such as [[/center_console]] and {{owoturl|/center_console_history}} exist to document the history of the Square of Publicity.

== Ratings ==
At [https://ourworldoftext.com/#x:3600,y:4500 '''X: 3600, Y: 4500'''] is the Ratings poll. It is linked on the Square of Publicity and it hosts a selection of worlds that people are able to like or dislike. The world with the highest like to dislike ratio will be nominated WOTD.

== Frontpage Status ==
At [https://ourworldoftext.com/#x:1010,y:1010 '''X: 1010, Y: 1010'''] you can see how many people are currently online and how many views the page has.

== Other ==
Here are other things one may see on '''''/''''':

=== Spam ===
'''''/''''' is commonly subjected to various spam attacks, whether big or small.

=== Image pastes ===
There may be images being pasted at times. A wide variety of images are pasted, including logos, stock images, and face reveals. Very rarely, porn is pasted, which has led to colors being turned off for all users near spawn several times and colors being disabled on TOR nodes indefinitely.

=== Spawn pub ===
Usually below the Square of Publicity, you will find the spawn pub (sometimes replaced with VYN bar). However, there is no official interior.

=== Stickmen ===
Occasionally, you will see stickmen doing various activities such as talking or interacting with each other. These stickmen also often accompany ASCII artworks such as vehicles or buildings. Sometimes, people use the stickmen for roleplay, such as the [https://owot.me/cmblore Combined Military Brigade], VYN, Baumer, lime.owot, and nonaem's stickmen interacting with each other.

=== lime.radio ===
Around ten tiles away from the Square of Publicity, currently to the east, you will find lime.radio, a script that communicates with its clients via [[Cmd|cmd commands]]. You can "tune into" the "radio" by running the script at its bottom right corner in your browser in an OWoT tab connected to the same world as the radio.

=== Crawlers ===
Rarely near Square of Publicity, crawler scripts are scripts that crawl a list of URLs. The most well-known one is at around x-3y3, which is a crawler script by [[yiff_plus]] which has lasted the longest amount of time out of all of them. It crawls the internet, sorting links into different domains and topics.

=== Progress bars ===
At yiff_plus' crawler is a progress bar script by [[JustAnOWOTUser]] which tells you how long until the week and month ends. It used to be below the Square of Publicity, but after measures were taken to deter this, it moved to the crawler.

=== Counters ===
Around early 2024, above or below the Square of Publicity were counter scripts, usually by [[Fernozzle]], which host a steadily or logarithmically increasing number of something. The most common of these are "(user) has baked (number) of cupcakes" or "(user) has typed (number) times". Counters usually get a bad rep due to being eyesores or being generally annoying.
