slender ARGs?

Here's the problem: Every Slender Man series CALLS itself an ARG... none actually are. EMH came closest, but most of the ARG elements have been dropped along the way as the timeline got stretched out. I think a lot of Slender Man creators got confused by what the term means, (possibly because of them being listed here) and the idea that a web series = an ARG proliferated.

As for core theory... are you asking why the fans hated it? Or why the people who created came to hate it? Because that's two different discussions.

Short version: people hate core theory because it started to interfere with what they wanted to do and because of the internet being the internet, epic flame wars erupted between creators.

Out of curiosity, when was the last time anyone wrote anything for the Core Theory? Also, were any of them good? I've never tried reading any of those blogs, since I just didn't like the idea behind them.
