While I don't necessarily agree with this, I can see the validity behind her point. Perhaps we could also discuss a change to the PotM system while we're at it? Oh. Well, in that case I also disagree. PotMs are decided based on a 15-day poll each month, so they're not necessarily top-notch.

Also, yes, I think we need to re-think the PotM system as well. God yes, some of the shit that gets upvoted on the PotM makes me raise an eyebrow.

I def disagree with the rings of the tree analogy. The suggested reading is mostly mediocre crap like Jeff the Killer or Eyeless Jack with a few gems thrown in like The Expressionless or The Russian Sleep Experiment. But even so those works are already so well known it's like IGBTG already said. It's unnecessary to keep them up as suggested reading because they're so heavily talked about they're immediately suggested readings.

Make way for the next generation. That's the only way Creepypasta will continue to grow. Just look at some of the suggested readings on Cym's lists last couple of months. The overall quality of these writings is far surpassing what Creepypasta used to be, it's time to stop venerating all those old stories from which this site was initially founded on.
