User Generations

A generation or gen, is a user-made term used to categorize users based on when they first joined the site.

Please note that there are no exact boundaries for generations, rather it's decided on by the mind itself.

Usually, these are used to discriminate against people who joined in newgen, called "newfags", adding to the exclusive and degenerate nature of OWOT. Adding to that, the people doing this are usually "newfags" themselves, therefore making them hypocrites.

Super-Oldgen(2010 - 2017)

Users who were involved in the community even before the launch of the current OWOT on October 8th, 2017.

They could have been part of Andrew Badr's original OWOT – which ran from 2010 to 2015 – or participated in the multiple revivals that were attempted after its shutdown. Almost all of them were veteran users of Your World of Text.

Such users include:

• The two admins: FP and InfraRaven
• Andrew Badr
• Other members closely related to the OWOT development effort
  • Mr. Guy
  • poopman(Created his own beta)
  • Dzeni
  • Sammich(Created his own beta)
  • Anon_guy(Hosted the current OWOT – then "NWOT" – during early stages of its development)
