Revision as of 17:48, 25 December 2025
FP will do something on OWOT for most major (American) holidays, this can range from redesigning the Center Console to staging more elaborate events.
Some of the largest holiday events in OWOT's history were created by veteran user Poopman.
Valentine's Day
2023
Pi Day
2023
*An identical design was used for Pi Day 2025.
St. Patrick's Day
2023
2024
April Fools
2020
The Center Console was replaced by a background image of four grey circles.
2021
The Center Console was replaced by a variety of shapes throughout the day. These were rendered, like last time, using background images.
2024
For April Fools 2024, FP temporarily enabled cell background colors on the Mainpage, allowing users to run high resolution image pasters at Spawn. This feature would be permanently enabled later that year.
FP also put a background image of Elon Musk at Spawn.
2025
For April Fools 2025, FP changed the names of every channel in the OWOT Discord.
- #screenshot -> #shotscreen
- #trash -> treasure
- tbd
- tbd
- tbd
Easter
2023
2025
Earth Day
2025
Independence Day
2024
-
"the US has temporarily colonized the OWOT spawn to bring you the Flag of Publicity" -
"the American occupation of the OWOT spawn has proven too costly. we have reverted to the status quo."
2025
Halloween
2023
Created in collaboration with Poopman for a Halloween event.
/Halloween23 contains an assortment of unique features, such as a decorative background and a floating pumpkin/ghost emoji that replaces your cursor.
The world is filled with several high quality pixel art pieces, which were created as part of an art contest.

2024
As part of Halloween, cell colors were enabled and the chat was temporarily enabled starting on October 30 and ending the next morning.
The center console was replaced with a pumpkin, which proceeded to rot over the course of a few days. Once it had disintegrated completely, some users expressed relief with one anonymous user stating, "i hated the pumpkin."
Following calls to keep cell colors enabled, it's being held longer to gauge how it's being handled by the community.

"Uh-oh I don't feel so good" -
It caught fire, but was put out quickly -
It's all gone -
Sped up recording of the final moments
2025
For Halloween 2025, the Center Console once again turned into a pumpkin.
Frontpage chat was also brought back, temporarily at first, though it ended up staying for good due to requests from the community.
On November 6th, the pumpkin started to decay like in the previous year. Afterwards FP made the choice to not restore the Center Console until the following day.

Christmas
Countdown world
Linked on the Center Console.
An identical world appears every Christmas with countdowns for each timezone, see a recording here. After Christmas is over the world is permanently privated.
The first Christmas countdown was /owot/christmas2023.
2021
2022
This was the first Center Console to use Symbols for Legacy Computing, a feature that was added earlier that year.
*A mostly identical design was used for Christmas 2024.
2024
2025
On December 17th, 2025, FP created a green Center Console for Christmas 2025. It received some amount of backlash for its uninspired design, and was replaced by a Poopman drawing on the following day. This marked one of Poopman's first major actions in OWOT after being inactive for most of 2025.
*Poopman later deleted the drawing by accident and had to rebuild it from scratch. At the end of this he forgot to protect the lowest row of characters, leading them to be deleted for the rest of the holiday season.
Around this time, an anonymous scripter also deployed several animations at Spawn, some of which were Christmas-themed.
On December 19th, Poopman and FP released /ChristmasWorld, which contained an image background just like /Halloween23 and /thanksgiving23. And like in those worlds an art contest was announced, with the winner(s) being given a (🎄) tag for one month. Unlike its predecessors, however, /ChristmasWorld is set to make a return every year until 2030.
On a more unfortunate note, an influx of NSFW image pastes caused FP to temporarily disable colors on the Mainpage. The color ban persisted through Christmas and would not end until ?????, when FP implemented a way to hide image pastes from the canvas.
