Halloween

2023

Created in collaboration with Poopman for a Halloween event.

/Halloween23 contains an assortment of unique features, such as a decorative background and a floating pumpkin/ghost emoji that replaces your cursor.

The world is filled with several high quality pixel art pieces, which were created as part of an art contest.

2024

As part of Halloween, cell colors were enabled and the chat was temporarily enabled starting on October 30 and ending the next morning.

The center console was replaced with a pumpkin, which proceeded to rot over the course of a few days. Once it had disintegrated completely, some users expressed relief with one anonymous user stating, "i hated the pumpkin."

Following calls to keep cell colors enabled, it's being held longer to gauge how it's being handled by the community.

2025

For Halloween 2025, the Center Console once again turned into a pumpkin.

Frontpage chat was also brought back, temporarily at first, though it ended up staying for good due to requests from the community.

Christmas

2025

On December 17th, 2025, FP created a green Center Console for Christmas 2025. It received some amount of backlash for its uninspired design, and was replaced by a Poopman drawing on the following day. This marked one of Poopman's first major actions in OWOT after being inactive for most of 2025.

Around this time, an anonymous scripter also deployed several animations at Spawn, some of which were Christmas-themed.

On December 19th, Poopman and FP released /ChristmasWorld, which contained an image background just like /Halloween23 and /thanksgiving23. And like in those worlds an art contest was announced, with the winner(s) being given a (🎄) tag for one month. Unlike its predecessors, however, /ChristmasWorld is set to make a return every year until 2030.

On a more unfortunate note, an influx of NSFW image pastes caused FP to temporarily disable colors on the Mainpage.
