Rscr, also known as Credrscr on YWOT, is a user who migrated from YWOT in 2024.

His activities within the community include creating ASCII Art, learning about the site's history, screenshotting interesting things he finds, and talking on the Discord server.

History

Rscr had known about OWOT since late 2020—not too long after he had discovered Your World of Text—but was not interested in the site at first. Like many YWOT users, he used to think that OWOT was a spammier website that lacked most of YWOT's charms.

From January 2021 to June 2024 he joined the OWOT Discord a whopping 11 times, each time looking around for a bit before leaving immediately. It wasn't until June 11th, 2023 that he permanently joined the server, after another YWOT user named Yosicat had raised awareness that there were valuable pieces of YWOT history(Ex. InfraRaven's 2010s activities) in the OWOT server. From then on he would sporadically search the Discord's message history for information about the early days of the Three Sites.

Rscr only became active in September thanks to the efforts of two scripters: Moth Cult Leader(now renamed to Catha'vi), who created a bridge that synced edits between the two sites; and Mr. Black, a skilled user who created a number of innovative scripts in OWOT, which Rscr recorded and uploaded to the OWOT Discord. From then on he discovered a wide range of creative worlds, ranging from Meimei's /computer.yes to the SLC art in /main, that made him realize that OWOT was more than just a site for spamming.

Ever since then Rscr had been active on both YWOT and OWOT, studying and archiving the history of both World of Text sites. On May 16th, 2025 he was given editing rights for the OWOT wiki and was able to double the wiki's image count within less than a month.

Stitched OWOT Screenshots

Created by taking multiple screenshots at maximum zoom and then stitching them together in Google Slides.

The full snapshots of each world is then placed alongside one another for size comparison.

 
 

OWOT Gifs

Rscr records animated scripts whenever he sees them in action, and converts them into gifs using ezgif.

Most of Rscr's gifs were created for the (now deleted) YWOT Fandom Wiki, which had the best support for animated images. The new YWOT wiki, on the other hand, would not animate the thumbnails for gifs over a certain resolution, thus putting an end to his dream of filling every page with an overstimulating amount of moving pictures.

Rscr has since learned that ezgif has a feature for downscaling gifs.

Art

*For a more complete collection of Rscr's art, including those from YWOT, see here

Rscr has been making text art on YWOT since late 2020, starting with block/ANSII art before moving on to more traditional ASCII art. He started making art in OWOT at the start of 2025 because the site allows him to copy his creations for safekeeping, whereas a good amount of his YWOT creations had long since been griefed, with no backups existing.

Currently, Rscr is mainly copying art from manga panels and other sources(when he is drawing at all, sometimes there can be month-long gaps between creations). But by 2026 he plans to return to making original drawings.

Beyond OWOT

YWOT

Rscr found Your World of Text on August 11th, 2020 from a tweet by the Cookie Clicker developer, who described the site as an "open-world text processor." Coincidentally, this had happened just one day after the YWOT Mainpage was made read-only in response to anti-Brazilian spam.

After exploring the read-only canvas for a while, Rscr stumbled upon YWOT's South Road and followed it all the way to the settlement of "Deep City" at Y:-1000. This awakened his interest in traveling, and over the next two days he would make a longer trip to the Northern outposts of "Sky City" and "Nirvana," which he had heard vague mentions of on his journey down South. The Nirvana pilgrimage proved to be a greatly rewarding experience and was ultimately what got Rscr hooked on YWOT. In particular, he harbors fond memories of the messages left by past travelers, who seemed to form a close community despite not being present at the same time as one another; and of the many hours spent scrolling along a seemingly endless road, not knowing what lies at the end but persisting despite the massive time sink.

The next few months saw Rscr make further journeys to the Southern, Eastern and Western Roads of YWOT. At the time he was possibly the first user in the history of the site to go 10,000 coordinates down all four major roads. This was all done while the Mainpage was read-only, however, and he could not leave any messages behind. But he was able to explore the site' still-public subworlds until January 6th, 2021, when the Mainpage was abruptly reopened.

Upon learning of the Mainpage's return Rscr immediately made a second journey to Nirvana. Finally he was able to leave messages of his own among the countless travelers who came before; though he was 14 at the time and not accustomed to writing stuff on the internet, so as of 2025 Rscr cringes heavily at the mere thought of his older writings. A few days later he was invited into the YWOT Explorers community along with several prominent North Road travelers, and this was when his presence on the site truly began.

Over the next four years he contributed to a variety of projects under the YWOT Explorers. In particular, they have a massive art project which Rscr expanded multiple times over the years. He also recruited a number of users into the community, of which he has become the oldest active member as of 2024.

His most notable activities over the years have been creating a YWOT timelapse, contributing to the newly-founded YWOT Wiki, and steadily improving his ASCII art.

OWOP

Rscr was briefly present on the OWOP Discord from late 2022 to mid 2023, a period that he primarily remembers for drama involving a notoriously toxic, underage Turkish user named Firakmisinolmsen.

Other members of the YWOT Explorers community were also present in OWOP, including HypnoticToothpaste—an artist and explorer who went on to become a moderator on the OWOP Discord—and Mandrake, another explorer who is currently working on a massive art project in Our World of Pixels.

Typetobuild.com(3D YWOT)

Rscr participated in the beta for a 3D YWOT clone named typetobuild.com. He was one of the few people who got to experience the site, along with the creator's friends and several members of the YWOT Explorers community.

During his short time on the 3D canvas, Rscr got to experiment with 3 dimensional ASCII art.

Trivia

    • Jamel thinks that it's a mayo :(
    • On the other hand, d9eoead, a marine biology enthusiast, was able to recognize it right away.

    • Rscr himself pronounces it as "Err-Skurr."
    • The majority of people see it as "Rac(s)ecar"
