{{main|TextWaller migration}}Ever since ???? there has been a sentiment that the migration of (predominantly underage) users from [[TextWall]] had corrupted the OWOT userbase.<blockquote>"''OWOT has gone downhill. Slowly, one by one, it was filling with peasants from Textwall and Trollbox. With clones of Bzuki that burst in tears when you insult them. With mentally deranged "clicking yes"-obsessed users. It just doesn't feel the same as how I know OWOT. And for that reason, I will be (somewhat) quitting OWOT. I will quit being on the frontpage. I cannot stand any more of these fuckers. These ruiners. They ruined OWOT. I will still be making worlds and shit, but I'm DONE with the main page.'' | |||
''I will only go on the main page and chat if there is a really important event. But until OWOT goes back to normal, don't expect me to come back to chatting there. Meanwhile on here, I'll mostly just lurk. I'll just drop a few messages occasionally.'' | |||
''To the Textwall/Trollbox users: Have fun ruining the OWOT experience even more than this. Just note that you have made a few users quit.'' " | |||
— '''[[AndreiXYZ]] in December 2021'''</blockquote><blockquote>''"yeah. the textwall immigration wave destroyed the owot userbase and the stain is still there. there's still a bunch of little kids or dumbfucks every once in a while but back then they were fucking everywhere. even if you uttered the word "fuck" once you'd get a handful of kids spiraling telling you that SWEARING BAD!!! U MUST NOT SWEAR!'' | |||
''they tried to... reclaim owot. transform its rules and already built community to fit themselves and what they wanted. selfish and annoying. parasitic, even.'' | |||
''and they are still here.'' | |||
''trollboxers are coming too, there's a few good trollboxers but the rest are the same as the textwall kids from back then''" | |||
