Several anons have said that the site was a better environment either before or during 2020, though others have rebutted their claims by stating that OWOT was barely active back then.


=== d9eoead ===
d9eoead, who has been active since 2018, believes 2022 to be the peak of the community, describing it as "edgy, but in a good way." This was a period that was largely centered around the [[Chat|frontpage chat]], before it was [[Removal of chat|removed]]. He cited trolls like [[PinkiePie]], [[ScarlettAnn]], and [[Elon musk]] as important figures from that time. Notably, d9 reflected that he enjoyed this era so much in part because he himself was a troll at the time.
