Spam central

Spam Central, also known as Spawn or 0,0 is the oldest, and most frequently griefed structure on YourWorldOfText. It is the exact center of the Main Page, acting as a tutorial for using the website. 
== General Information and History ==
Spam Central was created in 2009https://andrewbadr.com/yourworld/, along with the original website remaster. Since its creation, it has been frequently cleared and destroyed, both by developers and ordinary members of the community. Due to the influx of users in the area, it is unlikely any messages put in the spam central region will survive more than a few days without being deleted. 
Well described as lawless wasteland with frequently posted ascii porn content, or otherwise degenerate material. It is also considered one of the best places to meet other members of the community as generally, somebody is active at all times of the day in Spam Central. Both noobs, and older veteran users of the community.
Spam Central has been the victim to by far the most incursions, copypasta and raids. 
Spam Central was one of the many structures reset on October, 2015Your World Of Text Wiki by the developers.
== Griefing/Spamming in YWOT ==
Griefing is, and will always be, prolific within YWOT.
Griefing/spamming on a daily basis mostly happen within a ~2 coordinates radius of spawn. Text written within this area tend to last ~3 days at most before being destroyed one way or another. Text written a short distance outside the ~2 coordinates radius are still heavily susceptible to griefing/spamming, though they have the potential to last much longer. By going just ~5 coordinates away from spawn you can find messages and ascii art that have been around for multiple months(though some notable items are periodically restored via scripts). 
Generally widespread griefing/spamming in YWOT is concentrated within a ~50 coordinates radius of spawn. Beyond that point the only major roads and trails contain remnants of grief and spam. And by the time you get 1000 coordinates in any direction griefing/spam will have almost completely disappeared(with a few exceptions here and there). Most griefers don't bother to go beyond 1000 cords. so anything you place beyond that point will likely remain for the foreseeable future. However it is important to note that notable coordinates(Ex. 10,000, 6969, 5000) are still susceptible to griefing attacks due to the existence of teleport scripts.
Prior to the client changes on August 17th, 2021 script-enabled spamming(copy-pasting) was prolific within spawn. Back then tampering with the website's code was incredibly simple and scripts were easy to obtain. After the client changes most means of copy-pasting(Ex. Everything related to the inspect function) were rendered useless and griefing/spamming attacks became (slightly) less common. However manual griefing was unaffected by this update, as well as a few remaining copy&paste scripts(though these tend to be slower than the ones used before).
Before mainpage was reset in 2015 griefing/spamming was several times more prolific than it is now, at one point everything in a ~250 coordinates radius of spawn was covered with spam.
== Spawn Box Changes ==
Andrew Badr used to make regular changes to the Spawn Box. On their world, the user /~fp has kept an archive of every iteration of the box since May 2nd, 2015.https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~fphttps://archive.ph/ceprn
The Spawn Box was removed from February 24th to March 15th of 2013. It would disappear for a longer duration starting from November of that same year, causing many to believe that it was permanently gone.https://github.com/ywothistory/ywothistory.github.io/blob/master/_posts/2012-12-30-modernages.markdown
