| *** Rscr himself had been interested in invertebrate biology—especially bivalves—for much of his elementary school years, but left this fascination behind in 4th grade to pursue far less interesting hobbies(''such as being on infinite text canvases'').

| *** He only remembers vague fragments of information from his days as a marine bio enthusiast, but was nevertheless able to give d9eoead an excuse to talk about his hobby within the OWOT Discord. Along with d9, Rscr was one of the few contributors to the <u>『🪼』a large amount of sea creatures</u> thread for images of weird marine life forms.

| *Rscr went by "Credrscr" from 2020 to ~mid 2022, but eventually shortened it to Rscr on the Discord servers for both YWOT and OWOT. He is still referred to as Credrscr within the YWOT Explorers community, however, and signs using the unshortened username whenever he leaves messages around YWOT. Other YWOT Explorers have historically shortened his name to "Cred" instead of "Rscr." | | *Rscr went by "Credrscr" from 2020 to ~mid 2022, but eventually shortened it to Rscr on the Discord servers for both YWOT and OWOT.

| **"Credrscr" originated in 2017 as Rscr's username for the browser MMO [[wikipedia:Kingdom_of_Loathing|Kingdom of Loathing]]. At the time Rscr couldn't think of a good name, so he inputted random characters until something emerged that looked vaguely pronounceable. | | **"Credrscr" originated in 2017 as Rscr's username for the browser MMO [[wikipedia:Kingdom_of_Loathing|Kingdom of Loathing]].

| **Another KoL username, "Nokij," was used by Rscr when he first began exploring YWOT in 2020. He had attempted to register an account under it, but used Credrscr instead because Nokij was taken.
| |
| *Rscr is one of several members of the YWOT Explorers community to have joined the OWOT Discord.
| |
| **[[Noman]], also known as Kiparisa or Nomar, had the most active presence on the site and was an adept [[Symbols for Legacy Computing|SLC]] artist. They are also present on and off within the OWOT Discord.
| |
| **Chenn was another YWOT Explorer who joined the OWOT Discord. He was known for his supremacist attitude, however, and his month-long stay within the OWOT community left him with the impression that the site was nothing more than a toxic cesspool that was inferior to YWOT in every way. He expressed this opinion numerous times within the OWOT Discord.
| |
| **LiquidVicinity, the creator of the new [https://yourworldoftext.wiki YWOT wiki], is also in the Discord server for OWOT. She briefly participated in Discord drama involving a user named Kingdom.gg, but has been inactive within the community ever since.
| |
| **DIGIBILLCIPHER, a mostly inactive member of the Explorers community, has some amount of fame in OWOT for being one of the oldest known users on the site. She is a part of the [[United Snowy Boys]] faction along with other veteran users like [[Poopman]] and [[Sammich]].
| |
| **Finally there is Yosicat, whose efforts to search the OWOT Discord for old lore enticed Rscr into joining the community. In addition to being a lurker with zero messages, Yosicat might straight up not be active at all, having been occupied with college and other IRL endeavors since 2023. Yosicat was at one point semi-active on the [[Sleepycat]] chatroom, where he befriended the ASCII artist [[Meimei]] and got her to make him member for her main world; which he has since contributed multiple drawings to.
| |
| ***Along with Rscr, Yosicat has shown a great fascination with the [[Manhatingzone]] and their long history on both YWOT and OWOT. He also looks up to [[Fp]] and [[InfraRaven]] for their dedication to the World of Text community.
| |
| *On the other hand, Rscr has personally invited multiple OWOT users into the YWOT Explorers community. Most of them were given invites due to the fact that they were also veteran YWOT users at one point and had valuable knowledge about the site's history.
| |
| **These include the likes of [[FP]], [[InfraRaven]], and [[Mr.Guy]], along with a lesser known veteran named [[Instant Ramen|InstaRamen]].
