Ok, so I'm going to throw my two cents into this mess. I'm not a writer or will ever be one on this site, I'm on the other end of the spectrum: I'm the casual reader. I can't really speak for all of us, but the famous shitty creepypastas is what even got me to go on this site. I wouldn't know there was actual literary merit to the works here, if I hadn't wafted through the crappy, glamorous, over-hyped bullshit such as Jeff the Killer.

Sure, you can say it's just getting people to write spin-pastas left and right, or believe it overshadows newer work that should be famous in it's place, but it's my opinion, that the newer work wouldn't have existed without the crappy ones paving the way. There wouldn't have been this foundation on to which writers build this site upwards with their terrifying and awe-inspiring ideas and stories, without the (Yes said this many times already) shitty backbone the "Classics" had made already.

I agree with Cleric and Batman up there, there will be a backlash if this is done, sure it may be small, but in all honesty, that's all it really takes.
