That's called "popularity." The number of people who know about and discuss it. Good point. I probably should have clarified that I'm talking more about the degree of popularity; many of these older pastas, while considered classic, aren't really known about outside of small creepypasta circles. They're posted a lot (that's the entire point), but they're seldom ever talked about individually like Jeff the Killer or BEN.

I don't think there should be a pasta age restriction, as there are pastas that came along much later but still had an enormous impact on the pasta community. This is very true. Still, I think the old /x/ pastas should be under one category--whether that be "classics" or something else--just so they'll be easier to find. Maybe I'm just biased.
