It happened to get popular at a time when popular creepypastas could still go internally viral within the creepypasta fandom. But it's nowhere near Candle Cove level classic. While it certainly is not Candle Cove level classic, it is still a classic in its own right.

It was one of the last Creepypastas that went viral, it was posted just before Creepypasta started to pale, and it is one of the last Creepypastas written that is truly memorable.

Point taken, but there are still a couple things that mar its legacy. One, the aforementioned plagiarism accusations, and two, the fact that it was never finished (as far as I know).
