Date Entries
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).

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

@> ✨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

@> ✨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. We will forever keep this website in a special place in our hearts, and we will cherish all the memories together. .............

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.

VC party is held in ⁠#General and ⁠#trash, lasting about an hour.

October 31st, 2023 @SabrinaCarpenterFan has left her computer on for about 1.5 days straight to send 2 megabytes of pure OWOT chatlogs.

Some more progress pics on the module system..............

To address the backlash we have gotten from our manager's persistent procrastination, it felt fitting to rebrand our name to be correct again, as our news always are.

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

@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.

FP is planning on repurposing the @Road Builder role to @Artist after multiple requests..............

The first of its kind, a feat that was believed to be impossible, @e_g. is officially the first person to reach 100,000 messages. This stupendous goal has taken him 1038 days, since February 1st, 2021, putting him at an average of ~96.3 messages per day. It's not over for message milestones for him, there is still one more mountain peak to be conquered, and that is surpassing @Gateway#8555's total message count of 108,421, across hundreds of people.

100,000th message: #⁠trash⁠

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

Mr.Guy shares a few of his ideas on how to improve Our World of Text.
  1. Remove chat: The chat, being one of only two immediately interactable UI objects on the page, sets the tone for the site. The content of the chat inevitably seems to become an expression of the current state of owot, an observation that can have a profound effect on the enthusiasm a person develops early on. Text on the canvas could be from any time in the past, put there by anyone for any reason. This directly opposes the effects of staring at the chat; in that it forces you to reckon the type of users and ideas you can expect yourself to be immediately surrounded by when you're on the site. You can't simply scroll those users or their messages away: the chat is a constant, consistent with the people that inhabit it. Where the canvas is a symbol of creativity not limited by boundaries, so to does the chat oppose this in interactive functionality and social design. As it stands now, the front page's chat has evolved from the intended "pin board" usage where users discuss a world, into a whole platform for real time communication. I believe this is where the abuse is stemming from, and I propose that removing the chat would be a good first step to dismantle the toxic attitudes that attract troll behavior to the front page. It would be wise to test it first; there could be other ways to integrate the chat (only visible/usable by registered users, whitelist, slowmode, etc) that might have more positive effects.
  2. Redesign the SOP: This is the first monument seen by any new user who joins the front page for the first time. Very much about this experience is left vague, and almost no direction is given besides the ratings and teleportation station. Thus one ends up requiring much stronger curiosity and attention span than the average person generally exercises in order to discover the purpose of anything beyond the unprotected areas around spawn. I think that the SOP should be bigger with a few short tips so that users can glean fundamental concepts that embody the adventure of discovering the front page and expressing oneself on it, and there should most likely be a graphic content warning. Links to coordinates 50 out in any direction on the top and bottom and both sides of the SOP would give users immediate incentive to branch out.
  3. Encourage registration: Discouraging use of the site without an account will foster more users who feel like coming back and end up turning away low-effort attention seekers. This could be done by limiting features more harshly for unregistered users, including rate-limit, cell color, and ability to place links, while granting these features to any registered user. This would incentivize a more coherent community to form, and would aid in designing a more effective moderation system.

I'll continue this essay soon, I gotta go to work lmao

  1. Hey everyone! Since Christmas is just around the corner, and by that I mean there are only 7 days left, I'm gonna be hosting an event where you can send virtual Christmas presents to one of your friends, whoever you want! To send a present, all you have to do is DM @! OWOT Today ☑, using the following template:
    • From: {Your name}
    • To: {Your chosen friend's name}
    • Note: {A short note / description regarding the presents, or just a 'thank you' message}{Post what you've got here!} In this case, a present is anything that can be sent via Discord DMs: images, GIFs, videos, text files, links, etc. Before you submit your presents, here are a few suggestions for what you can send: memes / shitposts, a wholesome letter, a memory, etc. Don't tell anyone about what you're going to send to your friend, or who it's going to be! This essentially ruins the fun of this game. I will not check any gifts you may submit to @! OWOT Today ☑ until January 5th. On January 5th, I will check the presents you'll have submitted and send them to the friend you picked. You only have three weeks to send them over to @! OWOT Today ☑'s DMs, so if you have anything big planned, make sure to make what you have as good as possible while also managing your time, and don't forget to send them by the twelfth day of Christmas! If anyone isn't available, or still has work to do for the presents, I can delay the gift opening until January 5th. You can send your presents across multiple messages, and if you want to repick the person, you can do so as long as you're sure the gifts you may have already submitted fit for the repicked user as well. Hopefully you all like this idea i definitely did not steal this idea from JPDLD
