| 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".

............. Modern Our World of Text's development has started 6 years ago! , https://github.com/system2k/NodeWorldOfText/commit/2abd81e2d900873391885364629819ff4e7a93ef 2191 days of OWOT and counting, this community has made really impressive worlds over the years, and we can't wait to see what you come up with next! |
| September 19th, 2023 | @why do i still have a nickname b's upcoming WOTD, [/impossibleway](https://ourworldoftext.com/impossibleway), has been placed on the poll.
............. @> ✨ᗩＩ ⟨ 𝓐ndrei𝓧𝓨𝓩 🌌 ⟩ ◭⟁◮ will be holding an interview with FP on October 1st, to celebrate OWOT's 6th anniversary. The interview contains 17 questions, the second part being "a little interesting". |

| September 30th, 2023 | We would publish the latest OWOT news, but they'd get buried fast.
............. For the second time in its history, OWOT has suffered a proxy attack, heavily affecting the chat by using hundreds of websockets, making it nearly completely unusable. Our condolences to all of the families of the victims that have lost their lives during this incident, and we will make sure this never happens again. We shan't leave OWOT in danger, and we shall protect it no matter what. 9/29 #NeverForget ............. @realredtext's first contribution to the OWOT code came in handy for stopping yesterday's proxy attack, by adding a function for administrators to fully ban a list of IP addresses. The reason this was implemented is because bans used to apply on the HTTP side, but not on the websocket side. https://github.com/system2k/NodeWorldOfText/commit/32ac67927824d81a343fe023c6f42f59c9dba937 ............. InfraRaven shatters the world record for chat message length by sending a message with an astounding 504 CHARACTERS ............. @> ✨ᗩＩ ⟨ 𝓐ndrei𝓧𝓨𝓩 🌌 ⟩ ◭⟁◮'s interview with FP to celebrate OWOT's 6th anniversary is tomorrow. |
| October 6th, 2023 | @> ✨ᗩＩ ⟨ 𝓐ndrei𝓧𝓨𝓩 🌌 ⟩ ◭⟁◮'s interview with FP has finished, containing 17 questions and 2 parts. The first part had questions only about OWOT, while the second part had questions inspired by Ryan Trahan's interview with Dr. Phil. You can read the interview's questions and answers for yourself here, and there'll even be an OWOT world featuring the interview soon!
............. As October came by, it was time for a new WOTD to flourish, but alas, due to numerous botting attacks performed on the poll, bringing our then-upcoming WOTD crafted by none other than @e_g. below 4 other competing worlds with the same like/dislike ratio, causing the WOTD to become inconclusive for a few days. ............. LOCAL OWOT ADMIN caught ENDORSING CHILD LABOR in modern day Read here -> #trash Mr.Guy For child labor "get a job punk" ............. @e_g.'s best world yet, [/impossibleway](https://owot.me/impossibleway), has rightfully been awarded the World of the Day rank for the massive effort poured into it. The OWOT Today team once again congratulates you for creating an entire platformer inside OWOT, and we cannot wait for you to unleash your fantastic potential once again in your future projects. ............. After multiple comments on trash's atrocious average message quality, #international has been rebranded to #off-topic, making it the official channel for off-topic conversations outside OWOT, leaving #trash as-is as an auxiliary channel mostly for unkempt conversations and shitposts. |
| October 7th, 2023 | @FP has removed the trademarks for unknown reasons from the OWOT logo, name and WOTD, leaving the Square of Publicity as the only trademarked item (possible oversight) on the center console. Once again, this has wreaked havoc and incited drama, which took the lives of several victims. Our condolences to all of the families who have had their members' lives lost. This needs to stop. Make OWOT great again!
............. Today, @e_g. has broken another message count barrier, this time being a whopping 80,000. This puts him at 27.7K messages behind the collective total discussion and spam of hundreds if not thousands of people over the span of 2 years (@Gateway#8555), and is expected to surpass it by Christmas Day, December 25th. |
| October 8th, 2023 | Our World of Text turned 6 years old today!
Six years ago, @FP has released his clone of Your World of Text to the public. To celebrate its 6th anniversary, the community has come together to make and paste various OWOT logo artwork around spawn, some even protected! To add, the trademark on the center console is back after FP noticed the amount of artworks still keeping it. @> ✨ᗩＩ ⟨ 𝓐ndrei𝓧𝓨𝓩 🌌 ⟩ ◭⟁◮ has also started a nickname party, which even had FP and Mr.Guy joining the train. Thank you for always supporting us throughout our journey. This news project would not have been possible without OWOT existing.

The server was attacked in retaliation for rate-limiting an individual for nuking the spawn using a script, FP believes the server went down for around 2 minutes at the most. Enormous portions of the far-east part of the main page are being engulfed by the gradient images, warranting a super-rollback once it's done.

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.
