== Edit the Text ==

The website where [[Fernsy|Fern]] and [[Theawesomepikachu20|Tap20]] discovered OWOT.

Edit the Text(ETT) was an experimental, public text editor created by the Huang Twins. While it wasn't a canvas in the same way as OWOT, the fact that it could be edited by anyone gave rise to much of the same anarchic behavior that is found in the World of Text sites.

Fern recounts on the [[OWOT Discord|Discord]] how entire factions of trolls would wage war on the site's many pages, with there even being a cult-like organization in their midst. One of the most popular tactics was to overload pages with so many edits that they could no longer be loaded properly.

In the absence of any moderators, admins, or even rate limits, the ravage of trolls and griefers had to be counteracted by the efforts of individual users. Fern recalls participating in a full-on arms race to create scripts that can save and restore pages from spam scripts.

ETT was taken down in 2019<sup>???</sup> because the creators didn't want people to use it as a platform for storing their data.<ref>https://tikolu.net/edit/</ref>

A revival has since been created at [https://tikolu.net/edit/ tikolu.net/edit/].
