=== Edit the Text(''Pre-OWOT'') === | |||
Fern discovered OWOT from Edit the Text (ETT), a site operated by the Huang twins. On the site, she made a bot to save a page regularly, reverting any edits made by a certain IP address, though Fern's adversary eventually created a bot to spam writes to the page, defeating her. Fern prevailed in the arms race against this adversary by reprogramming the bot to post a frequently-changing link to a random page, until 2018, when ETT shut down. | |||
ETT had no ratelimits or size limits, leading to the strategy of "nuking", where users would simply upload a large amount of text to a page to prevent it from being loaded by users' browsers. | |||
In March 2018, Fern created her Discord account. | |||
She first discovered OWOT in April 2018, later joining the OWOT Discord server in August 2021. | |||
