Poopman: Difference between revisions

{{Good article}}

Before adopting the username Poopman, this individual was an anonymous user who engaged in questionable behavior on the YWOT main page. During this period, he would manually spam the word "poop" across the main page and replace others' words with the same term. Although he lacked programming skills at that time, he later acquired a basic word spammer tool, which he utilized for several hours each day.

Due to his persistence in spamming and the ubiquity of the term "poop" associated with his activities, Poopman earned this unique moniker within the YWOT community. Recognizing the widespread association of his actions with this name, he decided to adopt it as his official username when he joined YWOT. By embracing the name, he solidified his identity within the community.

Around the time Poopman joined YWOT with his chosen username, he developed an interest in programming. Initially, his programming endeavors were driven by his desire to create spamming tools and scripts. However, this changed when he crossed paths with two influential figures within the YWOT community: Infraraven and Codefactor.

Codefactor, in particular, played a pivotal role in Poopman's development. He acted as a mentor, spending countless hours teaching Poopman the intricacies of JavaScript on private pages. As Poopman's knowledge grew, so did his investment in YWOT. He shifted his focus from spamming to anti-spam efforts, seeking to combat the disruptive behavior that plagued the platform.

Poopman's transformation within the YWOT community was marked by a shift in his scripting approach. Instead of engaging in battles with spammers, which only exacerbated the issue, he turned his attention to creating tools and games that would enhance the YWOT experience for all users. He aimed to contribute positively to the community, rather than simply regulating it.

At a certain point, Poopman's involvement in YWOT took a hiatus due to the actions of another user named LOL007, who engaged in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on the site. Poopman chose to prioritize his education and temporarily stopped visiting YWOT during this time.

During his break from YWOT, Poopman conceived the base concept for an HTML canvas-based website, departing from the traditional table-based design. He created a proof of concept and shared it with Infraraven, who then collaborated with FP on the development of Our World Of Text using a canvas-based approach.

In 2022 and 2023, Poopman reengaged with the OWOT community, becoming a more active user. His renewed presence brought fresh ideas and perspectives to the platform. Poopman's contributions continue to focus on creating games and tools that enhance the overall user experience within YWOT.

Poopman's dedication to creating engaging games and useful applications showcases his commitment to enhancing the YWOT community. Through his programming skills and innovative ideas, he has successfully brought additional entertainment and functionality to the platform, further enriching the overall user experience.
