On May 22nd, 2025, Sammich and [[AJLStick]] took to the Discord in order to protest the ban of fellow Wokecat user [[Tatejo]], who was under fire for a variety of racist statements(''and for potentially scheming to take down OWOT''). They saw the suppression of racist jokes as a form of censorship, with Sammich lamenting that OWOT has lost the "''cool and edgy and punk rock vibes''" that it ought to have as a non mainstream site, and that it used to have before FP and [[Fern]] started implementing stricter moderation. | On May 22nd, 2025, Sammich and [[AJLStick]] took to the Discord in order to protest the ban of fellow Wokecat user [[Tatejo]], who was under fire for a variety of racist statements(''and for potentially scheming to take down OWOT'').

Sammich' | — '''[[InfraRaven]]''' '''talking about Sammich in chat'''</blockquote>In modern day YWOT, Sammich is primarily remembered for using a script to write "sammich was here" on every four lettered world. According to Sammich, the script signed roughly 500,000 worlds and took around 30 minutes. [[Mr.Guy]] would later follow in his footsteps by sigining "mr.guy was here" on those same worlds. | ||
Sammich's YWOT userpage is [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~the_sandwich/the_sandwich /~the_sandwich/the_sandwich]. It used to be named "/the_sandwich," though it was moved to a subpage of [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~the_sandwich /~the_sandwich] after a 2013 update which made it so that users created worlds under the "/~[username]" format, rather than claiming regular worlds like in OWOT. Sammich's world contains a list of interesting worlds, scripts and users from early 2010s YWOT. | |||
In the early 2010s Sammich was an influential member of the YWOT community, being friends with [[InfraRaven]], [[Kevin]], [[JerryStarField]] and other users who would go on to become founding members of OWOT.[[File:Sammich signature.png|none|thumb|Sammich and Mr.Guy's signatures]] | |||
