It was around this period that the site started to gain traffic, solidifying the drama-filled culture that we know today. This was likely the most active time in the site's history. It was also dominated in large part by [[List of trolls on OWOT|trolls]] such as [[Elon musk]], the [[Man Hating Zone]], and [[PinkiePie]], many of whom were primarily active in [[Chat|frontpage chat]].

Despite heavy toxicity, many users look upon this era with nostalgia, seeing it as a more active/interesting time for the community.

Users who joined from 2023 to 2025.

This is an era of stricter [[moderation]], with users continuously pushing for ways to limit [[spam]], [[List of trolls on OWOT|trolling]] and toxicity within the community.

One of the most notable change during this period the appointment of [[Fern]] to Discord moderator in mid 2024. From then on the [[OWOT Discord]] would become a drastically different community. Notable Discord users include Catha'vi, Lemuria, Akatas and Fox, all of whom joined from 2023 to 2024, and all of whom are known primarily for being active on the Discord.

Meanwhile FP would take a stronger hand in moderating the canvas and chat, executing controversial actions such as [[Removal of chat|removing Frontpage chat]] for over a year and [[2025 color ban|disabling color]] to deal with NSFW [[Image pasters|image pastes]].

Most of the notable trolls from the past era became inactive during this period, to be replaced by newer (and perhaps more controversial) threats such as [[Starianna]], [[List of trolls on OWOT/CBAT|CBAT]], and [[Huurmoonec]].
