'''A''': Since 2015, Trollpasta was at risk of being shut down due to spam and NSFW pages. For years the admins and the community had made many efforts in purging these sorts of pages in order to prevent the site from being closed, resulting in the three major purges. The first one taking place in late August 2013, resultingwhere inroughly the700 deletionpages ofwere about 700 pagesdeleted. The second in early 2015, which saw roughly the same amount of pages as first purge being deleted. The third and final purge, known as the 'Great Purge' among members of the community at the time, started in November 2015 and ended some time in late 2016. It was a period of mass-deletion where around six thousand pages were deleted, bringing the page count down from 12,600 to 6,800. 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.
