Member protected areas
Indestructible areas placed by FP or the multiple main world members.
Center Console/Square of Publicity
At the center of the / world (i.e., X: 0, Y: 0) is the Square of Publicity (SoP), also known as the Center Console. It is a section two tiles wide and two tiles tall with a space to type in the center, with the rest being member-protected. The member-protected section hosts various links and scripts, as well as the WOTD. Upon page load, users on / are greeted with the Square of Publicity, making it a common spam target.
Worlds such as /center_console and /center_console_history have been created to document and archive the history of the Square of Publicity.
/center_console_history is a world created by AndreiXYZ to archive changes made to the SOP.
Ratings
At X: 3600, Y: 4500 is the Ratings poll. Also linked via the Square of Publicity, it hosts a selection of worlds users can like or dislike. The world with the highest like-to-dislike ratio may be nominated as WOTD, however, some users have raised concerns alleging that some worlds on the poll may be rigged or automated for or against their rating.
Frontpage Status
At X: 1010, Y: 1010, users can see how many total connections are currently active, as well as the page's total view count.
