Once again, I gotta agree with you, Armadillo.

At this point they're just using the Creepypasta name for traffic and to rack up the user/visitor count.

"You seem to be talking of Creepypasta as if it's a brand of some kind." they do that often on this site. Sometimes it feels as if they think this is the Creepypasta fandom, the only Creepypasta community, and that it is some sort of company that they own.

This site will be screwed if the authors or rights holders of the classic pastas request that they be taken down. Candle Cove, 1999, all of Slimebeast's work, and Eyeless Jack were all taken down because their authors didn't want them on here (the latter was moved to the Trollpasta wiki which, in turn, ended up on the LOLpasta wiki). Red Mist (a sequel to Squidward's Suicide which was accepted by most fans), Laughing Jack, Jeff the Killer, Sonic.exe, and Laughing Jack, as bad as they were, were taken down because of how bad they were.

"all of these artists and writers taking over and marketing themselves and being in stiff competition with each other" I think Pasta of the Month had to do with that. Yeah it was around during the classic era, but a lot of people might see it as a competition to get their story spotlighted.
