User blog comment:DarkBladeSeth/Do you like trollpasta?/@comment-4295646-20110828010718

Troll pastas are (obviously) a totally different category of fiction that is equally represented in the article count, but not the stated goal, of this wiki. To a greater extent than all the stories that are actually intended to frighten, they're subject to questions of, "If it's shit and nobody cares, what's the point of keeping it?". Horror pieces, we're more or less obligated to collect. That's the point of the site. Troll pastas sort of blur the line.

I mean, if it's good, of course it's worth archiving. Personal taste notwithstanding. But the stupid ones, those that are terrible AT being terrible, with no sense of what they're parodying or why - those I not only don't like, I have trouble justifying them to myself. Just, like. "Why. What kick are you getting out of this." Although most of the "lost episode"/"easter egg" pastas inspire the same reaction in me. So.
