really old stuff? not so much. archives are spotty and scattered. I don't have links other than the archive link on the front page. someone else might. probably the closest thing you'll find to a collection of good archive of OC is a "best of /x/" thread. the old chanarchive used to only save threads that got enough votes, so that had some good shit. but I think it's gone now. the current archive only goes back so far and it saves everything regardless of quality.

/x/ is spookier when you're new and haven't discussed the same topics in the same threads 50 times. as for whether it used to be objectively spookier...maybe? it seems like there was more OC back then. but criticism on 4chan is harsh, and if you don't write much and aren't accustomed to taking a couple on the chin, you're more likely to stop trying to produce content. the people that are already pretty good are probably writing their first novel, not posting creepypasta. and people get pissy when they find out a particularly good and plausible thread/series of threads is an RP or an ARG, so those formats aren't as welcome anymore. right now, greentext stories are about the only OC you see now are actually accepted. hopefully it'll swing back around and people write more pasta. but so many stories have been done and redone that it's hard.

I miss getting spooped.

Now and then you'll get a thread that isn't shit, like a good ol' nope thread or greentext thread. You can usually find those on the /x/ archive by just typing archive after the /x/ homepage url thing. It only archives stuff for 7 days though so if you find shit you like you should start saving stuff into a folder or something. X kinda got lame with all this rp crap like "ooga booga i sumund a spookums demonical from the dimension of ren and stimpy's cartoon series plz halp me fuck it"

well not only is some of the RP really silly, some RPers aren't RPing, at least not from their point of view. paranormal and conspiracy-related topics are a magnet for paranoid and delusional people.
