Our World of Text Unofficial Survey: Difference between revisions

  <big>Survey Results 🐈</big>

✨ '''Total number of respondents:''' 58 (note that not everyone answered each question)

✨ '''Average user-voted site rating:''' 5.98

Below are some responses I thought were interesting, funny, or insightful. These are just cherry-picked by me, but i'll post the full response list later! anyone's free to read through it 😁

✨  '''What's your favorite thing about this place?'''

Many respondents mentioned art or creative potential in some way.

- "Scripting is easy & I've seen lots of cool art and scripts on here. I get to talk to some very cool people from time to time."

- "tech like moving and self-updating stuff. also just conversations in real time"

- "The endless void of random text and history"

'''✨  ...And what's your least favorite thing?'''

Lots of people mentioned the community.

- "Scripting is also easy for spammers/wipers/griefers/all kinds of things, but that's not exactly avoidable. Also, OWOT is notorious for having some racist, sexist, homophobic, etc kinds of people, which sucks :("

- "The chat's gone ahhh!!"

- "slur spam, excessive image pasting"

'''✨  If you could change anything here, what would it be?'''

- "a more expansive manual that explains how to make bold text, links, copy shit etc"

- "I'd love for slightly more moderation.."

- "Make it look more polished (like OWOP), be more mobile accessible, and get rid of the shitty people"

<br />

'''✨  Most interesting thing you ever saw on here?'''

- "that thing to the top left of the spawn that scrapes reddit. idk why it exists but it's impressive"

- "a working game of dwarf fortress on /main, it got taken offline by the creator though"

- "This form actually, or.. uhh, someone did a livestream of their own screen on owot with colored full blocks. bad apple in spawn, chika dance in high fps, and even whole movies were on owot"

'''✨ Any hobbies outside of this site?'''

Since these responses felt a bit more personal I didn't want to include any particular quotes, but i'll give some stats:

- 6 people mentioned Coding/software development, making it the most popular hobby.

- 4 people mentioned gaming, making it the second-most popular.

- 4 people couldn't think of a hobby at all

- there were a lot of random hobbies, but the most interesting/unique one i saw was ant-keeping!!

'''✨ What's your favorite media? (game, TV show, movie, etc)'''

- "idk i love many things"

- "Endless Sky, Space Station 14, Naev, Factorio"

- "Anything obscure/creepy (I recommend the OldRoot arg) "

'''✨ If you have any final thoughts to share, write them below!'''

- "I don't go on OWOT a lot (I'm not chronically online i swear). it's pretty fun to go to OWOT once in a while, talk to people (a lot of incels here tbh), do random shit"

- "If OWOT wasn't anonymous, there would be way less spammers and griefers. Even then, someone eventually will find a way to remain anonymous. Spam is just a fundamental part of OWOT and will never go away."

- "love u ♡"

- "play touhou -9029"

- "i was never really active on this site unfortunately so i don't have experience on it like others in the server do. it's a very interesting concept and i'm glad i found it from ywot a gazillion years ago...."
