The site | }}[https://ourworldofpixels.com Our World of Pixels] (OWOP) is a [[Related Sites|sister website]] of OWOT where users place pixels on an infinite canvas. Ever since its creation in 2016, OWOP has been hosted by [[InfraRaven]] on the same server as OWOT. The site was managed by [[Eldit]] along with an inconsistently active team of admins, moderators and developers. Eldit is also the co-owner of [[Uvias]]: the login system for both OWOT and OWOP. In December 2025, ownership of the site was passed from Eldit to [[FP]], who also created OWOT. | ||
OWOP's canvas is largely art-centric, with a diverse array of pixel art (both original and pasted) blanketing the Mainpage. The site is overseen by a group of moderators whose roles include protecting art and banning spammers. The aforementioned mods are widely scrutinized for supposedly authoritarian behavior, with one user recounting how they were banned for speaking at the same time as a moderator; among many other similar cases. | OWOP's canvas is largely art-centric, with a diverse array of pixel art (both original and pasted) blanketing the Mainpage.
