=== Your World of Text ===
=== Your World of Text ===
FP found YWOT in ~2015 and would have been considered a newbie at the time, compared to users like InfraRaven and Mr. Guy who have been around since ~2011.
<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 December of 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. His original YWOT username was [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~Destroy1010 /~Destroy1010].
 
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 ===
=== 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.

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.

<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.

<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.
