I wonder if the cretins who proposed such hilarity really think/thought that deleting and/or transferring Jeff was going to magically make the site better. Maybe it's Maybelline!

The Poe poems are creepy though. Doesn't matter if they were written as pastas or not, they're scary stories and are good enough to last here, so long as they are properly attributed to their writer.

And kindly refrain from calling me a "cretin". I did this because I believe that JtK is a terribly-written pasta. Many people agree with me, but at the same time I understand that by following through with my proposal we'd be risking a huge fan outrage, something we can't afford to happen. Except that this is a site devoted solely to creepypastas. If there really must be Poe's work (or anything noteworthy in horror) here then either there should be a special off-topic section for them or a page with links to the source material.

And I'm not going to oblige that request. This really is one of the stupidest thread ideas I've seen in awhile and even worse, had been implemented before. At least you're going back on it now. Still, try thinking about things before posting.
