August 24th, 2023 OWOT Today's profile picture is complete! It is pretty much a parody of GD Today (as this whole account is) and features 12 users alongside the OWOT logo in the center.

List of users: InfraRaven, FP, anon_guy, Mr.Guy, poopman, theawesomepikachu20, happyworld392, DIGIBILLCIPHER, yagton, AndreiXYZ, KKosty4ka, e_g.

The font used is Smidgen.

August 25th, 2023 The center console has had a few minor updates, and flaws:
  1. The right side's member protection has been fixed to stay consistent.,
  2. The yellow block in the OWOT logo is missing.,
  3. The [C - console.uvias.com](https://console.uvias.com/) link has been readded above the YWOT link.,
  4. The [/WOTDguessr](https://owot.me/WOTDguessr) [sic] link is misspelled (extra "e" in "guessr").,

The candy emoji remains misaligned.

.............@> ✨ᗩI ⟨ 𝓐ndrei𝓧𝓨𝓩 🌌 ⟩ ◭⟁◮'s second contribution to the OWOT source code adds an option to block anonymous users from chat. (Run it with /block anon) https://github.com/system2k/NodeWorldOfText/commit/11f8dacabb33852290df89562cbb1aed80238098

August 26th, 2023 FP has set a temporary rate limit on the front page at spawn.
August 27th, 2023 @FP has uploaded a preview video teasing at the ability to use CTRL+Scroll to zoom on OWOT without using your browser's zoom.

Basically, you won't have to always go into the menu and use the zoom slider, and furthermore, if you have a trackpad, you can hold CTRL and slide up and down as well.

Another contribution by @this bread allows world owners to delete messages via the sender's chat ID and the message's creation timestamp (in Unix).

@FP has added another option to the /block command where you can block registered users, for "completion purposes". (/block reg)

August 28th, 2023 Our World of Text's latest changes have been deployed!Changelog⁠ Additions
  • You can now run /block anon (or /block reg for registered users) to block anonymous users,
  • World owners can make use of the /delete chat command (requires a script!),

Changes

  • You can now see when you claimed a world. Worlds claimed over 6 months ago don't have such data unfortunately.,
  • If you're muted in chat, the server will now tell you.,
  • You can now hold Ctrl to zoom in/out without relying on your browser. You can hit Ctrl/+ or Ctrl/- or Ctrl/0 too.
August 29th, 2023 @Egg has surpassed @> ✨ᗩI ⟨ 𝓐ndrei𝓧𝓨𝓩 🌌 ⟩ ◭⟁◮ in message count. (67,422).
September 8th, 2023 FP, Falling1 and e_g. have been attempting to fix a bug with inputs on Android. https://2s4.me/public/ + input*.html.

In addition, @Falling1 and @Egg have received the @Tester role for their efforts.

.............

A few days ago, @FP has given @Egg, @theawesomepikachu20 and @Scɑr32 three unique worlds with invalid characters in the world names. They can only be visited through the /warp command.

  • @Egg has received the world /brainf**k.,
  • @theawesomepikachu20 has received the world /*.,
  • @Scɑr32 has received the world /&.

.............

@theawesomepikachu20 has gotten yet another WOTD. [/TimelineMachine](https://ourworldoftext.com/TimelineMachine) is the 116th WOTD, nominated on September 3rd, after a month of [/WOTDguessr](https://ourworldoftext.com/WOTDguessr) being the WOTD. It features the concept of travelling through different timelines of the front page.

.............

Multiple members have managed to successfully grab Europe2048's account token by tricking him into sending the private part of his token in chat out of cluelessness, and grabbing his Uvias ID via a comu link activation detection script.

.............

FP's Discord account was just about to be ELIMINATED after ai_sponge's Discord server was PILLAGED

2025

On February 6th, 2025, OWOT Today was briefly brought out of retirement to commemorate the death of Lemuria's newspaper Our World of News. This second newspaper had been mired in controversy for most of its lifespan as a result of biased content and heavy filler.
