Our World of Text (OWOT or OWoT) is a website that lets users type text anywhere in a grid. Users can choose the color of their text and visit other pages known as "worlds." In OWOT, all users start on the main page and can visit other worlds by adding the name of the world to the end of the URL after a slash, or by clicking a link in the Center Console or anywhere else on the main page.

[[Main_page | Our World of Text]] (OWOT or OWoT) is a website that lets users type text anywhere in a grid. Users can choose the color of their text and visit other pages known as "worlds." In OWOT, all users start on the main page and can visit other worlds by adding the name of the world to the end of the URL after a slash, or by clicking a link in the Center Console or anywhere else on the main page.

OWOT was first launched on June 8, 2010, by the developer and creator of Your World of Text.<ref>https://twitter.com/yourworldoftext/status/15743326242</ref> It was created as an alternative to Your World of Text that allows unrestricted scripting. In early August 2015, it was announced that OWOT would shut down on August 20th due to funding issues. Weeks after its original shutdown, control of the domain was handed to InfraRaven to start a revival of OWOT. The revival was based off the heavily modified [https://github.com/reverie/yourworldoftext YWOT source code] from 2010 and featured a new menu design and a loading screen.

~~For the most part, Our World of Text is unmoderated with the exception of attacks on server infrastructure, illegal material (limited~~ to ~~CSAM), and malicious script usage~~. ~~Both the main page and global chatrooms (via~~ the ~~chatbox) are subject~~ to ~~anti-spam control which may~~ be ~~imperfect. The main page has virtually no rules,~~ with ~~the exception of pornographic images done via full~~-~~color Unicode block characters (on~~ or ~~close to spawn, and illegal types), malicious script usage (to the point of inhibiting usage~~ of the page~~), and link spamming (mainly done by replicator scripts). Vandalism on certain popular areas such as [[Pika City]]~~ may be ~~subject~~ to ~~reversion periodically. Content rules are generally lax~~.

You are free to express your political opinions. Using scripts to make the site harder to use by others will be met with rate-limits or worse. Parts of the front page may be reverted periodically due to spam.
