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.

=== FP ===

Line 94:

Though he does not have admin permits, FP is the closest thing YWOT has to an active moderator now that Andrew Badr is dormant. In 2022 he restored YWOT's Mainpage after two [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Kubex300 large scaled griefs] that destroyed [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/The_Void hundreds of coordinates of text]. When asked, FP reassured that he had a backup of the entire Mainpage from 2020. He also filed a report to Cloudflare after YWOT was [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Cloudflare_Incident falsely flagged for phishing] at the beginning of 2025.

FP began working on an YWOT clone named NodeWorldOfText in mid-2016. In 2017 the project was noticed by InfraRaven, who offered to host it under the "ourworldoftext.com" domain. The name "NodeWorldOfText" was later given to the open-source version of OWOT.

=== Most of the Admins ===

Line 101:

From 2016 to 2017 a good number of the above users were involved in an attempted remake of OWOT, whose betas can be found [[OWOT Betas|here]].

Dzeni and Anon_guy were some of the first users to learn of FP's NodeWorldOfText and offered to host it on their server. When NWOT was released as the modern OWOT, they and much of the YWOT "inner circle" joined the new website as admins. Over the years most of them have been inactive, however, prompting much talk of nepotism among the userbase. This culminated in 2024 when [[AndreiXYZ]] led an effort to install Fern as the first new admin on the [[OWOT Discord]].

=== AndreiXYZ ===

~~In addition to being~~ active on the YWOT Discord from 2021 to 2023, Andrei ~~has~~ also ~~taken~~ a good amount of effort to study the history of YWOT, especially as it relates to OWOT.

Andrei was active on the YWOT Discord from 2021 to 2023, during which he feuded with a user named Jesse78 over emoji spam. For context, Jesse had been reacting to every message with the :bike: emote.

Andrei's main criticism was that the server had devolved into meaningless faction wars with there being very little discussion about the site itself.

It must be noted, however, that Andrei had previously cooperated with Jesse over his effort to react to every message with the :nobikes: emote. It is possible that he only turned on Jesse after he switched to being a bike enthusiast.

Andrei became mostly inactive after the emoji spam died down.

In addition to this, Andrei had also put in a good amount of effort to study the history of YWOT, especially as it relates to OWOT.<gallery widths="170" heights="150">

=== MCL/Catha'vi ===

'''''<u><small>*See MCL's YWOT Wiki page [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/Moth_Cult here].</small></u>'''''

[[MothCultLeader|Catha'vi]] began their moth-related career on YWOT, at the beginning of 2024. At the time they were a user named Moth Cult Leader(MCL for short).

In their early days MCL spammed ASCII moths around spawn, created an indestructible bill board praising moths, and infamously deployed a moth-themed roomba that was inspired by an older YWOT user named [https://yourworldoftext.wiki/The_Janitor -- The Janitor].

Having grown weary of being called a moth-themed Janitor—and having received no shortage of backlash for the roomba—MCL decided to create a series of original scripts, ranging from an interactive chatroom to a user-controlled toy car. It was around this time(''in March 2024'') that they joined the [[OWOT Discord]] and invented the "Catha'vi" character.

In August of 2024 they linked YWOT and OWOT using a series of OWOT-YWOT bridges, earning them praise in both communities.
