SaladFingers is actually what most Pastas are based off of like Jeff and others Creepy Pasta came out when my Brother was in Middle school and he's 32 and i'm 15 so yeah pretty old

Wait, your brother was in middle school in 2004 and he's currently 32 (making him around twenty when that came out)? I guess they were really serious about "no-child left behind". I'm pretty sure some people may have been inspired by Salad Fingers, but claiming it is the progenitor of all creepypastas doesn't make much sense considering the origin is much more likely urban legends like Polybius and internet tales that were copy/pasted and shared around.
