I feel like gore pastas inspired a lot of crappypastas to come on the site. Pastas like Jeff the Killer bring in fans that spew rip offs and cliche gore over the wiki. Most of the pastas don't sound like horror anymore, more like something you'd find in a snuff film. Don't get me wrong, we still have some good pastas, but the new found popularity this site recived can be viewed as good or bad. If we didn' have people like SOG or MCP even, this site would be dead and the site would be a wasteland. Then again this popularity brought in a lot of people I call "Gorelings". Teenagers who seem to be obsessed with Jeff the Killer, Laughing Jack, Ticci Toby etc. The site is in no way dead. Creepypastas are in no way dead, but the quality went down a bit. If I hear "I'm a new user and I need help" one more time I feel like I'm going to jump off a bridge. And for what Skelly said we shouldn't  strive for popularity, we should strive for quality.
