Emote boards
In the OWOT Discord, multiple users operate boards dedicated to indexing posts that have received at least a certain amount of reactions for one emote. As of October 2025, there were four boards. Fern's index of boards, a pinned message in trash, includes four boards; her fireboard (5+ fire reactions); Lime's catboard; the foxboard, run by Fox (who later became the host of the Echoden system); and the deerboard, run by Catha'Vi (now the host of the Weird Creature System).
Fireboard
The Fireboard is the oldest and longest board. It is operated by Fern, and has been running since June 2024. It arose from the creation of the fire/wastebasket system per decisions made as part of the Shitpost Working Group that Fern ran from June 12 to June 18, 2024[1]
In June 2025, Fern stopped updating the board, as she had began work on creating a dedicated website for a fully automated fireboard, which Fern confirmed she was working on in October 2025. In the meantime, Sylveon took over the work of updating the fireboard.
There also exists the trashboard, a collective term to refer to all posts that have been deleted for reaching a score of −5. In this case, the score is the number of wastebasket reactions, minus the number of fire reactions.[1] Self-reactions do not count.
Bonus: Trashboard
Messages that gain five or more :wastebasket: reacts are eligible to be deleted by a moderator(with most users pinging Fern when this happens).
:wastebasket: and :fire: cancel each other out, meaning that a post with one :wastebasket: react will need six :fire: reacts to be placed on the Fireboard(the same works in reverse).
Technically not a "board," but still an emote based functionality in the Discord.
