The [https://discord.gg/aqgH45B6W3 '''OWOT Discord'''] is [[Our World of Text]]'s official '''Discord''' server for users to discuss about the site and partake in other miscellaneous topics. For the most part, members often share memes, improve the site by suggesting ideas, reporting bugs, and sharing their creations (including art, worlds and scripts). The server is also a good place to get in touch with the administrators, of which the most active are [[FP]] and [[fernsy|Fern]].


== Brief explanation ==
The Discord server has become a significantly less toxic environment ever since the promotion of Fern in 2024. Because of this, many users have expressed a preference for Discord over the poorly moderated [[chat]] and canvas.  
[[File:DiscordGeneralOWOT.jpeg|right|thumb|OWOT Discord in 2023]]
The OWOT Discord Server<sup>or Guild</sup>, A place which is supposed to be used for more discussions and more types of chatting.<br>
It's often full of kids due to OWOT's fanbase being full of children, teens and pretty much a few adults.<br>
People often share memes, porn<sup>(looking at you, [[Scar32]])</sup> and just make good suggestions.<br>
Oh also there are some OWOT Users who stay more on the discord server than on OWOT itself.<br>
Also it's a good place to contact fp.
== The Channels ==
[[File:TheOWOTGuideDiscord.jpeg|thumb|right|List of channels according to the OWOT Guide]]


=== Announcements ===
On the other hand, there are groups of users(''mainly [[Anon|anons]]'') who despise the Discord community with a passion, arguing that it has become an authoritarian place which appeals to minors. Most critics of the Discord also harbor negative sentiments against furries and transgender users, who make up a significant percent of the server's population.
The announcements channel is full of annoucements, the channel can only be chatted on by Admins.

=== Emote Boards ===
In the [[OWOT Discord]], multiple users operate boards dedicated to indexing posts that have received at least a certain amount of reactions for one emote. As of October 2025, [[Fern]]'s index of boards, a pinned message in trash, includes four boards, which are: her fireboard (5+ fire reactions); [[Lime.person|Lime]]'s catboard; the foxboard, run by [[Fox]] (who later became the host of the [[Echoden]] system); and the deerboard, run by [[Catha'Vi]] (now the host of the Weird Creature System).
 
The Fireboard is the oldest and longest board. It is operated by [[Fern]], and has been running since June 2024. It arose from the creation of the fire/wastebasket system per decisions made as part of the Shitpost Working Group that Fern ran from June 12 to June 18, 2024<ref name="srwg">{{Cite news|title=Shitpost Regulation WG brings change to server|date=2024-06-22|access-date=2025-10-06|author=Lemuria|newspaper=[[Our World of News]]|url=https://archive.org/details/our-world-of-news-2024-06-22/mode/1up?q=shitpost+regulation}}</ref>
 
In June 2025, Fern stopped updating the board, as she had began work on creating a dedicated website for a fully automated fireboard, which Fern confirmed she was working on in October 2025. In the meantime, [[Sylveon]] created a thread where she took over the work of updating the fireboard. Lemuria has also been an active contributor to the unofficial board.
 
There also exists the trashboard, a collective term to refer to all posts that have been deleted for reaching a score of &#x2212;5. In this case, the score is the number of wastebasket reactions, minus the number of fire reactions.<ref name="srwg" /> Self-reactions do not count.

OWOT Discord in 2023

The OWOT Discord is Our World of Text's official Discord server for users to discuss about the site and partake in other miscellaneous topics. For the most part, members often share memes, improve the site by suggesting ideas, reporting bugs, and sharing their creations (including art, worlds and scripts). The server is also a good place to get in touch with the administrators, of which the most active are FP and Fern.

The Discord server has become a significantly less toxic environment ever since the promotion of Fern in 2024. Because of this, many users have expressed a preference for Discord over the poorly moderated chat and canvas.

On the other hand, there are groups of users(mainly anons) who despise the Discord community with a passion, arguing that it has become an authoritarian place which appeals to minors. Most critics of the Discord also harbor negative sentiments against furries and transgender users, who make up a significant percent of the server's population.

Emote Boards

In the OWOT Discord, multiple users operate boards dedicated to indexing posts that have received at least a certain amount of reactions for one emote. As of October 2025, Fern's index of boards, a pinned message in trash, includes four boards, which are: her fireboard (5+ fire reactions); Lime's catboard; the foxboard, run by Fox (who later became the host of the Echoden system); and the deerboard, run by Catha'Vi (now the host of the Weird Creature System).

The Fireboard is the oldest and longest board. It is operated by Fern, and has been running since June 2024. It arose from the creation of the fire/wastebasket system per decisions made as part of the Shitpost Working Group that Fern ran from June 12 to June 18, 2024[1]

In the meantime, Sylveon created a thread where she took over the work of updating the fireboard. Lemuria has also been an active contributor to the unofficial board.

There also exists the trashboard, a collective term to refer to all posts that have been deleted for reaching a score of −5. In this case, the score is the number of wastebasket reactions, minus the number of fire reactions.[1] Self-reactions do not count.
