A lot of the stories in the historical archive that people say aren't up to standard...Am I the only one that thinks they should stay? Like, we need to remember where we've come from. We are the creepypasta wiki. We're a wikia for creepypasta. We need to preserve the stories that created the genre (as long as they're not sonic.exe or Jeff the Killer bad). I mean, I'd give squidward's suicide, dead bart and suicide mouse 5/10s on a generous day but they were groundbreaking and original at the time, did a lot of stuff right, people in the early days believed them and that's why they're famous. Are they up to modern standards? No. Should we burn every blunderbuss and flintlock pistol in every museum because they're total shit compared to modern handguns? Hell no!

And the odd person does pick up bad habits from them. They soon learn that won't get them very far. We'd be getting bad, cliched stories with or without these stories on this site. Maybe those people didn't even read them on this site to begin with.
