Goatway
Goatway refers to a series of bots that automatically forwarded messages from OWOT's chat to Discord, and that allowed users to message chat from Discord.
The name "Goatway" came from an OWOP clone named Tixtels, which had a chat system going by the same name.
Main Discord Goatways
Original Goatway
FP started running the original Goatway on December 23rd, 2018 and discontinued it in early 2021.
The bot was hosted on two channels in the Main OWOT Discord: #goatway-global for messages from Global Chat and #goatway-frontpage for message from the now deleted Frontpage Chat.
Boter
A bot created by FP to replace the first Goatway.
Boter was launched soon after the discontinuation of its predecessor and would remain active until late 2022, when it became clear that the TOS-breaking contents[1] of chat might make the OWOT Discord vulnerable to reports.
This concern has caused all future Goatways to be hosted on separate Discord servers.
Goatway Remake
Started by Falling1 in June 2023 and is still running today.
In order to protect the Main Discord, this Goatway is hosted on a separate server.
Polonz Goatway
Polonez's Goatway remake existed for 1 single day in early 2025.
Foxway
Created by Echoden in July of 2025.
Foxway is the most unconventional Goatway in that it assigns a unique APP account to each username in chat. Users in the Foxway Discord can then use bot commands to customize the appearances of the APP accounts representing them.
Notes
