'''Your World of Text''' ('''YWOT''') is a website created by [[Andrew Badr]], and is the predecessor to [[OWOT]]. It is also the site where most users discover Our World of Text.  
'''Your World of Text''' ('''YWOT''') is an infinite text canvas created by [[Andrew Badr]]. It is the predecessor to [[OWOT]], and also the site where most users discover Our World of Text.  


As an older website, YWOT lacks many features such as colors, teleportation, and a built in chat. The absence of teleportation is especially important in that it forces users to explore the canvas manually. The end result is a sprawling open world filled with content, most notably along roads and trails that spawn entire communities with their own cultures and landmarks.

YWOT nowadays barely functions, likely the project coming to its end after nearly 15 years.
YWOT nowadays barely functions. Changes made to the site since 2015 have rendered most scripts defunct, and the server in its current state can no longer handle large amounts of users without lagging. The last major update from Andrew Badr was in 2021 when he changed the site from html rendering to canvas rendering.
 
The site is currently in its most dormant era yet, though the upside to this is that new users get to explore 10+ years of content in a state of relative peace.
