'''Q: Why did the original Trollpasta Wiki get shut down?'''
'''A''': Since 2015, Trollpasta was always at risk of being shut down due to spam and NSFW pages. For years the community had made many efforts in purging these pages in order to prevent the site from being closed, all culminating in the Great Purge of 2015, where five thousand pages were deleted. Everything was going fine, until the site was shut down without warning on August 17, 2018. Trollpasta "not having a defined purpose" was said to be one of the reasons it was closed.
 
'''Q: MostWhy pagesis haveit missing images. Why iscalled that'troll'pasta?'''
'''A:''' Despite what some people might think, trollpasta is not about trolling, nor do we condone trolling in any way shape or form. One of the reasons the genre is called 'trollpasta' is because many of the early trollpastas usually started out as 'serious' creepypastas and either got incredibly stupid in the last paragraph, or had the last sentence be a popular meme of the time (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Everybody walk the dinosaur, etc.) revealing that the whole story was a joke disguised as an actual creepypasta. Another reason is the fact that many of them utilize what was then referred to as 'trollspeak', the all caps, bad spelling, rushed manner many of the old stories were written in which would later become a trademark of trollpastas, although this trend has died down in recent years.
'''A''': Unfortunately, none of the images on the old site were archived in Fandom's XML dump for it. We are working on restoring many of the images, but it's likely a lot of them can never be recovered. We apologize for this inconvenience.▼

'''Q: There are some pages missing here that are available on other pasta sites. Why is that?'''
'''A''': Since we are continuing where we left off with the old site, we're still deleting low quality Trollpastastrollpastas that aren't worth reading. Trust us, you're not missing much from these pastas. Unlike other pasta wikis, you don't have to sift through dozens of bad, spammy, and unfunny pages that only exist to waste your time. We are a wiki that strives for quality, not quantity.
