'''Your World of Text''' ('''YWOT''') is a website created by [[Andrew Badr]], and is the predecessor to [[OWOT]].

'''Your World of Text''' ('''YWOT''') is a website created by [[Andrew Badr]], and is the predecessor to [[OWOT]]. It is also the site where most users discover Our World of Text.

~~Most OWOT users find out about OWOT through YWOT.~~

As an older website, YWOT lacks many features such as colors, teleportation, and a built in chat. The absence of teleportation is especially important in that it forces users to explore the canvas manually. The end result is a sprawling open world filled with content, most notably along roads and trails that spawn entire communities with their own cultures and landmarks.

YWOT ~~does not support colored text~~, teleportation, and ~~does not have~~ a chat.

YWOT nowadays barely functions, likely the project coming to its end after nearly 15 years.

Users are encouraged to scroll in any cardinal direction, where they can follow one of the site's many roads/lines to a variety of distant landmarks. They may also choose to explore randomly; either way they'll find no shortage of messages and (mostly) hand-made creations.

The YWOT Mainpage has been wiped multiple times throughout its history, with the last reset happening in July 2015 in response to a massive wave of spam.
