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.

It features the concept of travelling through different timelines of the front page.

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

@> ✨ᗩI ⟨ 𝓐ndrei𝓧𝓨𝓩 🌌 ⟩ ◭⟁◮'s interview with FP to celebrate OWOT's 6th anniversary is tomorrow.

October 2023

OWOT Today was inactive for the majority of October and November.

Most of the following entries were retroactively posted after November 21st, 2023.

date entries
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.

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

@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.

October 20th, 2023 The Restoration Union has discovered two extremely rare [ Server ] messages that are obscurely difficult to have them display the intended way.
  1. This message was sent through the /uptime command, but in such a way that it was sent within one second of the server's restart, causing the actual uptime count to not display at all.
  2. This message used to be sent after attempting to send link.gy/09748. This measure was used for a short time to block the link.

Yet again, OWOT has suffered another proxy attack. The attacker, suspected to be Profile-1195/Account/Ajjrgby by FP, has attacked the main chat using CJK spam, forcing FP to disable it for a few minutes. One user, Sabrina, reported over 109 messages per second, but FP quickly jumped in to correct her, stating that overestimation was caused by network lag, and that 109 msg/s would imply ~54 proxies being used, whilst he only captured 9 of them. Around two hours later, OWOT had undergone another proxy attack by the same person, the chat getting disabled once again.

October 28th, 2023 OWOT experiences a proxy attack for the 100th fucking time.

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.

Can we fucking go ONE DAY without some motherfucker poking the servers with their nuclear bomb.............. An anonymous user presents us with a museum of art collected around the main page's spawn, including a submission centre and a system to sort art by the month they were created in.

No more than 10 minutes later, more raiders joined and continued the raid for 10 more minutes before FP came back and stopped them, issuing 12 bans, also setting an explicit image filter for non-role members. For investigational purposes, the invite codes used in the raid are of the following;

The front page was attacked by a scripter who has made a script spamming red block characters over a random tile at spawn whenever a swear was said in chat, including a link that sends said swears. Some people used it to intentionally grief spawn. The attacker also claims that it was made by an admin, encouraging people not to swear.

November 12th, 2023 FP reveals that there was a kill switch implemented for the OWOT gateway bot following a pinging disaster 2 years ago. It was useful for whenever he was away and the gateway was being abused to ping half the server repeatedly for a few hours. Nobody has actually known of it until now, and it was as simple as DMing the Gateway bot "self destruct".

November 17th, 2023 @fern almost died !!! Wanna find out? !!! Go round the campfire and I shall tell you all a story...

The day before, at around 9:01 PM (Oklahoma time), yagton started casually exploring a forested area after dark, hoping nothing out there could run up to him and attack him. The opening before going in the woods was by a walking trail that he's never gone on before. He has always had a passion for exploring locations that really don't need to be.

Suddenly, he sees a deer casually run a good 50 meters in front of him, wondering to himself if this is a sign that he should turn back immediately. The deer started cautiously approaching him, but through a combination of shining his flashlight at it, whistling at it, and slowly backing up, yagton has successfully conveyed to the deer that he wants nothing to do with it. However, the deer was still slowly approaching, but it was obvious it was very cautious and was maintaining a distance, it was probably more scared of him than he was of it.

Keep in mind that deer are generally pretty docile, unlike meese, which are attackers. Deer's main meal is grass and generally try to stay away from everything.

After several minutes, the deer has satisfied its curiosity and has walked back to its mainland.

Do you all think yagton could have lost his life if the deer had ran up to him at full speed..............

November 21st, 2023 Hello everyone!

We currently have a large backlog of unsubmitted articles, and we implore you to improve upon it and collect as much information as possible during these two months! https://discord.gg/w8fP2d9qPU 《 We want you to join this server, go over to #submissions and post ANYTHING you can, OWOT related, that has happened since October 8th, 2023 (excluding #OWOT6YEARS)!

Once again, we would like to strongly apologize for our huge break. We will be going back online shortly. Stay tuned!

November 22nd, 2023 FP wishes everyone a happy Thanksgiving break at the top of the center console. (By the way, the protection on InfraRaven's PayPal link is gone, presumably to ease pasting further themed center consoles.)

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

The center console has been updated to a plate held by a Thanksgiving turkey to celebrate the holiday. poopman and FP have also made [/Thanksgiving23](https://owot.me/Thanksgiving23), similar to the Halloween world.
November 24th, 2023 @lime.cat updates his pull request by changing the emote height from 1em to 16px due to the em unit not being affected by browser zoom. https://github.com/system2k/NodeWorldOfText/pull/34/commits/92cc62d6f35d09c0766d7bd3acd4f2ff5d3d9bc4
November 25th, 2023 The OWOT Discord server has been raided by soyjak.party again, starting at 16:19 UTC and lasting about an hour before Mr.Guy and FP tackled them. Following this, FP has created a measure to prevent further raids like this involving shock images by whitelisting the ability to upload attachments and embed links, via the new @User role, which is granted manually.

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

In addition, @e_g. is the first person to receive said role.

November 26th, 2023 @fern has made an alternative survival Minecraft server for those who do not like anarchy as much as the first server. normalmeowers.aternos.me:15850

December 2nd, 2023 After continuous annoyances from Kingdoms_gg (originating from soyjak.party) for well over a month, @> ✨ᗩI ⟨ 𝓐ndrei𝓧𝓨𝓩 🌌 ⟩ ◭⟁◮ has made a community poll asking people if FP should start being far more strict with Kingdoms.

At the end of the poll, 13 people voted against him (+1 alt), whilst only one "person" (Nonaem, which is nearly just as annoying) was in favor of his stay. People against Kingdoms include: AndreiXYZ, lime.owot, yagton, cygnus, Falling1, caioz, LiquidVicinity, realredtext, e_g., KKosty4ka, ntg, Guest-1052, Polonez (+ one of his alts).

@theawesomepikachu20 releases his latest upcoming WOTD, [/owot_card_game](https://ourworldoftext.com/owot_card_game), which the name may suggest, is based on character info-card games. The world was created after observing an anonymous user making a similar character card at spawn, and decided to build around the idea. A regular card contains a depiction of the user as a stickman, along with their name and the card ID. To the right of the stickman are the stats of the character, including Health Points (HP), Experience (XP), Attack (ATK), Defense (DEF), its weapon (with details), and a special ability.
December 3rd, 2023 I swear bro why Yag's shit stickin up like cockatoo feathers @fern LMFAOOOOOOOAOAOOOOO..............

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.
