== Activities ==

Historically, InfraRaven has seldom been active on OWOT, and whenever he does appear it's seen as a momentous occasion.

His world contains a rough [[Timeline of OWOT|history]] of the website.<gallery widths="400" heights="200">

== Beyond OWOT ==

InfraRaven is one of the only figures to have had a major presence on all three of the ''[[Related Sites|World of [x]]]'' sites. He hosts both OWOT and [[Our World of Pixels|OWOP]], and was a greatly influential figure in the old days of YWOT.

=== YWOT ===

[[File:Merry christmas ywoti.png|thumb|203x203px|YWOTI art by [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/ASCII_Art_Archive#rcatface Rcatface].]]

[[InfraRaven]] found [[Your World of Text]] in 2011 from an obscure Facebook group named "Satan." He was one of the most influential users in the site's history and had the closest ties with [[Andrew Badr]] out of any known user. In 2021 it was he(''along with [[kkb]]'') who convinced Andrew to reopen the Mainpage, after it had been [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Brazilpocalypse locked down to prevent racism spam].

InfraRaven was believed to have been given admin permissions for the YWOT Mainpage, making him the only known YWOT admin other than Andrew Badr.

InfraRaven has worked on a number of projects throughout his long history on the site. In 2013, for instance, he contributed to an in-site [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/YWOT_Wiki_by_Randomguy YWOT Wiki] and that same year he created the soundtrack for a YWOT snake game named [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/YWOT_Games#Grubber Grubber]. InfraRaven was also known to have fought numerous spammers, including the DeathCloud faction and the infamous Lol("''Hitler''")007, who spammed userpages using scripts stolen from InfraRaven hiimself.<ref>https://github.com/ywothistory/ywothistory.github.io/blob/master/_posts/2012-12-30-modernages.markdown</ref>

InfraRaven, along with other veterans like [[JerryStarField]], [[Dzeni]], [[Anon_guy]], [[Sammich]], [[Mr.Guy]], [[Kkb]] and [[Poopman]], made up the "inner circle" of YWOT during the early 2010s. At one point they even created a hidden society named YWOTI(''YWOT Illuminati'') that operated on a private subworld.

When Andrew Badr shut down the original OWOT in 2015, InfraRaven was given ownership over the "ourworldoftext.com" domain in case he ever wanted to revive the site. A loose effort to [[OWOT Betas|remake OWOT]] ran from 2016 to 2017, though it ultimately ended up failing. But in 2017 he discovered FP's OWOT clone "[[NodeWorldOfText]]" and decided to host it under the OWOT domain.<ref name=":0">https://ourworldoftext.com/Interview_with_FP</ref>

==== 4chan ====

InfraRaven is believed to have participated in YWOT discussion on 4chan back in the 2010s. He might have created the popular [https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~Orson_Welles/4chansports /~Orson_Welles/4chansports] subworld, which [[kkb]] also worked on.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

* InfraRaven has been ~~on YWOT since 2011 and~~ has the ~~closest ties to Andrew Badr out of all known users~~.

* In 2022 there was a video on InfraRaven's Youtube channel of him playing a piano while shirtless(''but with a nightgown on''). The video has since been taken down, but it has assumed an infamous status among certain members of the OWOT/OWOP community.
