=== Warpserver ===

/warpserver was a chat command that allowed users to access other websites from the OWOT client. FP created it for users to connect to their [[Running from source|custom instances of OWOT]], but instead It was used to copy/paste, teleport and run OWOT scripts on YWOT(''though colored text was not supported'').

The /warpserver command was removed by FP for being problematic in multiple ways. Not only was it used to spam YWOT, but Warpserver also posed a security risk, with the possibility of it teleporting users to IP grabbers and other harmful sites.

Most users on YWOT seemed to have been unaware of the Warpserver command even as it was used to spam their website.

=== Fastclient ===

A website, formerly hosted at <u>2s4.me/public/ywot/fastclient_v1_jul_25_2021.html</u>, that presumably functioned in a similar way to the Warpserver. It allowed users to access multiple OWOT features on YWOT—such as copying/pasting, faster scrolling, and wider zoom—but teleportation was not supported.

The Fastclient was discreetly disseminated within the YWOT community throughout 2021 and 2022. Notably, it gave users the ability to back up their art and take larger screenshots. And while teleporting wasn't enabled, scrolling speed at max zoom was fast enough that you could reach 10,000 coordinates in under a minute, with many using it as a way to fast travel to distant art projects.

But critically the Fastclient was also used to spam, and it was for this reason that FP eventually took down the website. [[AndreiXYZ]] stated on the [[OWOT Discord|Discord]] that the Fastclient was never supposed to be found by the public, though for unknown reasons it ended up being listed on DuckDuckGo.
