So This Is A Post
Now that the initial crisis with my computer’s constant freakouts is over (it’s been rebuilt around 5 times in the past few months, perhaps hosting a site dedicated to creepy things infected it with ghosts and caused its repeated massive failures?) and the server has been moved (during my computerless time, my server had quite a few behind the scenes hackings by spammers) and *hopefully* most of the spammy crap has been taken care of, I can write this. A few of you were able to get ahold of me during my offline time and I believe spread it to the forums before their untimely demise at the hands of all the server poop, but here’s how things currently stand for creepypasta.com:
-The main site will be staying online as long as I can afford it, serving as an archive. Perhaps the time will come when it’s updated again, but I make absolutely no guarantees about that. If/when that time comes, I will not reopen the forums or anything, I’ll just continue to quietly archive things. For a genuine paranormal community, you’ll have to look to someone more adept at running such things.
-The forums, while initially planned to make the jump to a new server if somebody stepped up to rehost them, somehow got corrupted and fucked up during the recent server move. Unfortunately, I kept my backups on my home PC, which, as stated above pretty much loves dying and thus the forums are lost due to the stupidity, bad luck, and lack of better backups by yours truly. I am sorry about this, even though I didn’t want to host them any longer, I know that there was a HUGE amount of work and valuable content in that database. I mean, there was also the Adachi forum, which probably is what brought down its smiting by the corrupted database gods, but you guys did write a whole lot of good stories that I can only hope you were better at backing up then I was =/
-Comments are currently stacked in the 8,000 range – I will get through them eventually (there’s a loooot of spam in there and it makes my eyes cross a little) and you’ll see comments start getting approved again, though this won’t be as frequent as it used to be. Unfortunately, due to spammers, I can’t just unmoderate them without this place becoming a clusterfuck of Viagra ads and the like.
-I did initially start the website as a labor of love, though, because I truly thought that creepypastas were a badass meme and that an archive was needed. So I hope that you can forgive me getting in over my head, my intentions were good at the beginning, I promise!
-If someone steps up to create a new, ‘active’ version of the site, let me know and I will update this post with a link. Same goes for the forums – if the Monolith people start a new forum, that can also be linked from here once I’m told about it. Comment on this post with that information, if you have it.
-While we’re putting all our cards on the table, I admit that I lied: I did write one of the stories on this site. It’s half-assed and terrible and was written in about 5 minutes, but it’s out there. If you guess which one it is, you’ll win absolutely nothing =3
I do thank everyone who has been involved with creepypasta.com, but I have come to realize that I am just not the right kind of person to run an online community! I tend to get cranky when people expect too much of me (unless they’re employers or friends) and just don’t have the hard working and selfless attitude necessary to really see a project like this through. That, combined with the fact that I am inherently a private person and was starting to get freaked out by some of the attention that I and my IRL friends/family were receiving, is really the truth about why this site got abandoned. It makes me all obstinate, because I am a jerk like that. I don’t like having strangers feel like they’re entitled to my time or my personal life, even if I’m the one who “asked for it” by hosting a 4chan offshoot website. Yeah, I know, silly, and probably something that I should have seen coming!
So once again, thank you, and for now this is goodbye~
Sarah
forums? i didnt know you had a forumn!
Oh no
Really gonna miss the forums, and also the main page being updated.
Anyway, your reasons are completely understandable.
Thanks for the years of sleepless night (no sarcasm, I promise) ^^
/don
It’s been fun. I met a lot of great people here and shat a lot of brix. I hope things go well for you in your personal life. I’m sure once a prommie from Monolith finds a place to call home, everybody else will follow. Hopefully, we’ll see you there.
Awwww no more pasta :< I love them stories! Thanks for everything!
Sorry to double post, just wanted to get word out. I created a temporary haven for the denizens of monolith. I’m no mod, so I’m sure it will turn into a shithole very quickly, but for all interested
djfhauntedshelter.lefora.com
Just an act of kindness, I assure you. I won’t even be there every single day. Sarah/Phone, you’re welcome to pop in as well. I’d even be glad to hand over the admin password if you want it.
Hi Phone, thanks a lot for this site, the link list and all the work you’ve done! It was great fun reading this stuff!
Good luck!
Cheers, Doc
What will I read now when I’m supposed to be doing schoolwork? :[
I will never end my valiant hunt of finding more pasta.
It was great while it lasted. Maybe too good to last, but either way…
Happy trails everyone.
Wait…wait, no more stories? At all?!?!? I love this site 3:
Does this mean there will be no more stories like AT ALL? :/
Oh.. oh god.. NO! I have so many more brix to be shat.. TnT
They should rename this to SadPasta. That was a great farewell and it is all too bad it is real. At least 4chan will never die. Thank you so much for all these years of being faithful to this website. I am so glad we finally got to see an update. May your spirit live on forever.
Hey,
I’m sorry to see this amazing website going down. I really enjoyed it and was hoping for it to return eventually, but time just went on and on without any updates.
That’s when I decided to create a new creepypasta website.
http://www.creepypastaindex.com
It doesn’t get much visitors yet, and I’m still adding pastas as I type this, but I’d really appreciate it if you could post the link to it in this article.
Best of luck!

Alright Sarah have fun then
BTW no hard feelings right?
You’re full of shit.
*weeps for the death of the creepypasta site* gahh…but i understand :/

Sad to see the site go. It is understood. Is there anyway you could make a torrent/archive of the site so others can download it? Thanks again.
-Magus-
Is it okay if I archive the stories on my tumblr? It sounds like this site will still remain, so I’ll credit and link and everything.
Hello.
How terribly sad.
Farewell.

I created a blog last year that does the exact same thing as this site… It was mainly because this site didn’t have a lot of the pasta I’d like to have seen in an archive, but it caught on a little.
http://inuscreepystuff.blogspot.com
Does it count as a new active version of this site?
No more sleepless nights for me, just as I had started writing a really good one, too!
Sad to see the site going down, it had a damn good run. Hope somebody steps up to the plate, a site like this needs to keep going. Far too many sleep soundly through the night. Good luck, Phone!
BUT WHO WAS–Wait…
Wow.
I really enjoyed this site! I’ve visited it a few times a week since I first discovered it years ago. Even when the new posts stopped coming I’d go through the archives from time to time and still get a kick from the pastas I’d read many a time.
I guess all I really have to say is “Thank you.” I appreciate all the work you’ve put into the Creepy Pasta community, and even if the site goes down for good, your memory will live on in other similar webpages, much as a zombie creating disease always seems to survive through countless nukes and containment attempts. Even if the famous “Patient 0″ dies, the zombies live on (or…Die…I guess…You get the point.)
aww… I really liked this site too…
:< but it's cool
good luck with IRL stuff!!
Not so great creepypasta. Decent writing style, but poor ending. 3/10
Whatever works for you! Good luck with the rest of your life (and dealing with people bothering you IRL) and thank you so much for the continued upkeep of the site.
Shit’s rough. =(
I wished it was 1st of april there for a moment….but if its really going to end and all…can we finally know…WHO WA….ah…never mind.
I’m so sorry… This is my first post ever, but I’ve read every pasta on this website. It’s truly the best.
Aww. I will miss good pastas and sleepless nights. I love this site. <3
For some reason, I think this is written by someone else named Sarah that I know. If this is true, I will trully miss this site
What? I didn’t understand this creepypasta. It didn’t really seem scary or well thought out, and the ending sucked. 2/10.

Seriously though, it’s sad to see the site end up like this .__.

I’d be willing to take over this site, pay for it, and manage all aspects of it exactly as it was before. How do we contact Sarah about something like this?
Goodnight, my sweet pastas. Thanks for trying to run this site as long as you did, Sarah. My sister and I loved this site and would always talk about the awesome stories on here. I really apperciate all the work that went into this site.
Then who was murderer , I am working on making one big creepypasta.7z
Sorry to see you go, Sarah, but glad to see that all the craziness you had to put up with is ending. I wish you nothing but the best. Good luck, goodbye, don’t look under the bed…
BUT WHO WAS MOD?
its been great, really. thank you so much for everything
This is horrible news. I’m so sorry & I’ll miss this site greatly.
So I guess the inevitable end came at last. Well, in those first two years it was really fun (no really).
For those times that I frequent here, thanks phone… this is a goodbye I guess.
See ya
It was a pleasure while it lasted.
This was one of my favorite sites for a long time. There were many sleepless nights because of this site, and I truely thank you for it. You will be missed.
ps I found this site
http://creepypasta.wikia.com/

This is the scariest pasta yet!
Thats terrible, although I knew something was up with the lack of updates. Anyways I’d just like to give you my thanks and appreciation for all the fun this site has given me.
Man, and I really love this site. I enjoy reading the Creepypasta here and it was one of my major ways of getting into the whole genre. I really hope this site will be able to stay alive. I have read and favorited many a story from this site.
I made a new forum Sarah!

THE DAY OF ALL THE BLOOD!
*runs*
This is the first time I ever post on this page and it seems it would be the last
Thanks for the scares
God, I miss this site. I discovered it in the summer of last year and it really got me in to some great horror books (The Stand, and…well, a lot of SK books xD)
I had a hard time after reading these stories. I always loved to refresh and read the new things. I hope the creepypastaindex site floats well, I’ll be sure to visit!
Lots of creepypasta love,
Cyd
Hey folks,
The creepypasta forum users (Monolith) have moved to another new forum where they’ve began re-establishing the community. Many of us contributed pastas to this website in the past. We hope to do something similar with our new place whilst using CP.com as a reference.
Come find us at: http://terrortortellini.freeforums.org/
Thanks
BAW. TTnTT R.i.p. Creepypasta! Many scary times were had.
BAW. TTnTT R.i.p. Creepypasta! Many brix were shat.
I just have to say, thank you for creating and running this site for so long, and taking your own money out of your pocket to keep it up and running.
I’ve probably shat the equivalence of the Great Wall of China (I scare easily) and spent more than a couple nights falling asleep with the bedroom light on, the door locked, my dog protectively at the foot of my bed, and a baseball bat in my arms.
Heh, that was a good read. Very creepy pasta. Almost sounded real, the site going down. No more creepy pasta.
…
*nervous laugh* pasta, right? O.O
