Clocks
A list of notable scripted clocks in OWOT.
In early 2026, a number of these scripts began running 24/7 near the Center Console. Some users found them harmless while others thought they were a waste of space. The presence of the clocks sparked debate over whether any form of long-running scripts (Ex. The Crawler and Prophetbot's marquee) should be allowed at Spawn.
Square of Publicity clock controversy
The SOP Clock was a scripted digital clock that ran inside the Square of Publicity (SOP) from January 21st to January 31st, 2026. It caused large amounts of controversy for occupying more than half of the space it inhabited.
After much demand, the SOP Clock was forcibly removed by FP at the end of January. See here and here for footage of users celebrating the removal of the clock.
It returned on February 5th, this time below the Center Console.
The clock is also present on Your World of Text, where it is still running today. YWOTers complain about the clock as well, though they don't hate it as much as the OWOTers do.

there's effectively four clocks on spawn, at this point it's just amusing — FP on February 24th, 2026
Okay, I've previously been opposed to the trend of mindless clock scripts, but I'm maybe thinking of joining in now.
I've had a change of heart because of some of the more horrible things that have been happening at spawn.
I am starting to see the appeal of something mindless like a clock as a sort of active resistance to this behavior.
