Aywen
Aywen is a French YouTuber. In December, he created the website TextBoard.fr, a clone of Your World of Text, as a social experiment, and ran it as a four-day event from December 14–18, 2024. This caused the Aywen Migration, with new users surging into Our World of Text and Your World of Text.
Discovery
TextBoard.fr was discovered on December 15, 2024, by Mr. 1052, who labeled the site "french owot". However, TextBoard.fr more accurately resembles Your World of Text.
Aywen Migration
Almost immediately after the opening of TextBoard.fr, users began surging into Your World of Text, and to a lesser extent, Our World of Text itself.
Lemuria
Lemuria led efforts to manage the new users; setting aside the /aywen world for Aywen's userbase and communicating with the French-speaking moderators using machine translation tools and an alternate account.[a]
Xernas was the first Aywen moderator to enter the OWOT Discord server. His statement in Aywen's Discord server that /aywen had been allocated to Aywen's userbase was the primary cause of activity
Aywen's userbase was noted by FP and Lemuria as being unusually adept at scripting; they were able to paste Braille images and large advertisements in less than an hour. The /aywen world peaked at 20 users.
In the evening of December 21, 2024[b], Lemuria was invited to speak on an event held by Xernas discussing development. As he was uncomfortable with using his voice, he instead prepared a textual statement machine-translated into French about YWOT, OWOT, and his involvement on the site.
a very brief history of owot, ywot, and my involvement
andrew badr launched ywot on august 2, 2009 as an art project. badr first created owot in 2010 as a site for unrestricted scripting, as opposed to ywot. but he shut it down in august. then, infraraven began working on a new version of owot and added more features to it.
then in october 2017 a new version got made, using node.js and now it is maintained by "FP"[c], a developer.
and on february 25, 2023, owot became open source.
i discovered owot in november 2023 because someone spammed a link to it on another website i was using at the time, and so i checked owot out.
i came back again in february 2024 and i am also now running a newspaper for the website, called "our world of news"[d]
un bref historique de l'owot, de l'ywot et de mon implication
andrew badr a lancé ywot le 2 août 2009 en tant que projet artistique. badr a d'abord créé owot en 2010 en tant que site pour des scripts sans restriction, par opposition à ywot. mais il l'a fermé en août. ensuite, infraraven a commencé à travailler sur une nouvelle version d'owot et y a ajouté plus de fonctionnalités.
en octobre 2017, une nouvelle version a été créée, utilisant node.js et maintenant maintenue par « FP », un développeur.
et le 25 février 2023, owot est devenu open source.
j'ai découvert owot en novembre 2023 parce que quelqu'un a spammé un lien vers lui sur un autre site web que j'utilisais à l'époque, et j'ai donc vérifié owot.
je suis revenu en février 2024 et je gère maintenant un journal pour le site web, appelé « our world of news » (notre monde de nouvelles)
Notes
- ↑ As Lemuria is in 140 Discord servers at the time, having exceeded the typical 100 limit during a brief period in late 2024 when he won a few months of Nitro from a giveaway, and now had no Discord Nitro, he is unable to join any additional servers and must use an alt account to do so instead.
- ↑ The event ran from 21:00 to around 22:30 UTC+1, while for Lemuria it was December 22, 04:00 to 05:30.
- ↑ Quotes were added to prevent mistranslation by DeepL; FP was mistranslated to "PC" and even "Parliament" on one occasion.
- ↑ Quotes were added to prevent calque translation by DeepL.
