So what exactly would you be seeing on a normal day on the BEN DROWNED forums?

Mostly silence
Somebody usually posts a forum meme in the "Get This Thread to 1 Million Posts" thread
There's about 15 active posters which is extremely depressing seeing as how active it used to be back in like 2011

Any interesting content from the ancient times 2011? What was the forum's stupidest head canon, crackpot theories?

Creepypastanetwork is also dying as far as I know, due to some abysmal redesign. Only a handful of new users still post there, usually to promote their own stories or channels.

There was an absolutely massive pony thread that managed to become the largest thread on the forum and began to bleed into other threads
I think it was about 300 pages before the original forum got taken down by the cyber police for death threats or some shit

One of the absolute worst popular theories I can remember was the Doctor Who theory: everything in Ben Drowned was supposed to be related to Doctor Who and the answers could be found therein
I'm not quite sure why so many people believed that shit but they totally did

Ben Drowned is one of my favorite stories because it's the only video game pasta that's actually creepy. It doesn't use hyper realistic blud or extreme gore, it's creepy because it genuinely seems to be some sort of disturbing corrupted Majoras Mask game. It uses actual content from the game itself in bizzare and unnerving ways like using the creepy ass link statue and distorting the audio and sprites. Yet it seems like more than just a glitchy game because it does everything in very specific ways.
All that being said, I have noticed that it's the story that tends to attract more spergs than most of the others. I remember a few years ago on the site I used to visit a lot this one guy kept swearing that he met the actual BEN on cleverbot and managed to learn from him that BEN is actually a 35 year old black man.

To be honest, I also thought Laughing Jack and The Origin of Laughing Jack were pretty good, especially for pastas from DeviantArt. Some of the gore was a little overdone though.
EDIT: Mother of God...
Tbh, I'm not surprised this kind of stuff exists.
I actually made an account with that site back in 2012 because I wanted to post Horror fiction on there. I completely strayed away from it since then.
Plot twist, FTW! I love Ben Drowned myself. What the creepypasta does is use Majora's Mask dark and grim atmosphere to instill the fear of a spirit of a young child inhabiting the game. It's refreshing to know that all those anomalies in the game can be used with a Gameshark.

Nowhere is safe from those awful Jeff The Killer fangirls. Nowhere.

Around 2003 there was a brief surge of remakes and sequels to classic slasher films. Naturally, a fandom grew out of it. The glut of movie serial killer yaoi was probably drawn around that period.
I was just entering the horror fandom, and Freddy Vs. Jason turned me onto A Nightmare on Elm Street specifically. And while I was never in love with Freddy (I thought he was cool and awesome and awesome and cool), I saw so many girls that were.
So many.
This creepypasta shit? It's just come back around again.
It's all the same shit.

Written by average joes who can write good horror. Well, some people that is. What's with young women and horror anyway?

I wouldn't know anything about that...
Okay but all jokes aside I have no idea. It's one of those things that you wouldn't think would have a following like that but it somehow does.

Agreed. I guess because Creepypastas are based off of our world. They're the type of stories that never make it to the public and shared by a handful of people. Creepypastas are much better than most Horror movies nowadays.

As someone who has been in this group of people for some time, I can confirm this. A large amount of the appeal of pastas is the capacity of anonymity. When you're a part, and you see a really good, horrific tale in the ocean of stories, it makes you feel accomplished in knowing that you, and you alone, know about it. And that, in some cases, is better off. The more obscure the story, the more people will search it out. Thus creating popularity for the pasta.

I like Ben Drowned, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the only good video game creepypasta. In my opinion, what makes a good video game pasta is the author recognizing that the game itself isn't scary. That's why hyper-realistic blood and pictures of the narrator's family fall flat. In a good gaming pasta, the horror generally comes from wondering who would make such a game, why, and possibly how. On that note, here are two of my personal favorites:
Killswitch
Pale Luna
Comedy option: A Haunting Most Mario

The creepypasta that's good is really, really good. The rest is mediocre or flat-out godawful. The problem is that there are just so many tweens/hack writers who keep posting the same derivative, unoriginal crap and hopping on whatever bandwagon they see. There can only be so many stories about a cursed video game cartridge or a super disturbing "lost episode" of a Nickelodeon show before the whole concept starts to get bogged down. I've also found the huge focus on Jeff the Killer to be really annoying. The original story in and of itself isn't bad (definitely not great, but it's passable) but it has one of the biggest "what the fuck, how did this happen" fandoms I've ever seen. Every other creepypasta that's published nowadays seems to be a ripoff of Jeff the Killer or a story that focuses on him.
But, like I said, there are some diamonds in the rough. Most of them were written years ago, before the creepypasta trend became really huge. Here are some of my favorites (my absolute favorites are bolded). Obviously, it's all very subjective so what I adore you might think is garbage.
And here are some by Slimebeast. He's a great author; imo he's the best creepypasta writer out there. I really think that he could go pro and publish a short story collection. I'd certainly buy it.

I hate the X IS A TIMELORD bullshit. The worst is the JAMES BOND IS A TIMELORD theory.
No. No he isn't shut the fuck up. Get your stupid space wizard out of my spy fantasy.
Also was that dude in the trilby serious, or was he mocking trilbys?
