I would actually be fine with keeping it around for historical purposes if it weren't for its insane popularity causing it to negatively influence the overall quality of the site. If it weren't for that, I would have suggested adding a "historical clause" to the quality standards long ago. If we bring back historical stories of dubious quality for the purposes of hosting them all in one place we should have a big ol' disclaimer on those pages to indicate that it's there for historical purposes and that they are not indicitive of the quality of writing we seek to host on this site. Something can be historically significant without being as good as everything else is.
