Shock Depot is Back on Track
I can’t believe the day has come when I’m finally writing this. This is a very special day in the story of Shock Depot, my horror genre website.
!! Since yesterday Shock Depot resides in a better hosting provider !!
This is what happened: I had a horror blog that used this same address, but when Tumblr as a CMS stopped being usable I migrated that blog (its name was The Horror Vivarium before a horror movie named Vivarium was released, I beat them to the name for like 1-2 years) to a WordPress self-hosted website, and re-branded it to Shock Depot.
The hosting provider I picked for Shock Depot back then, in July 2020 was very stingy with the storage quota they give to their low-end plans but I was very strapped for cash back then, kind of unable to pay for a better hosting provider and plan.
I confess that in the last three years, I worked intensely, though part-time, for Shock Depot albeit for only one year and a half.
I kind of abandoned the site, because a lot of other things got in the way, the most important among them was my relocation to the American mainland.
But it wasn’t all about the things I needed to do that weren’t related to the website. It was also about the website itself.
It had a very limited scope for growth due to the tiny storage quota and I was already at a dangerous level of used space.
Things got so bad in the last year and a half that the only storage left I had I couldn’t employ it for publishing new content or posting more files to download because I needed that slack of disk space to be able to keep the website in working order without stability or glitch issues.
Finally, it had to do also with my branching out from web communicator to independent video game developer, something I started working on 1/1/2021.
All of these things don’t mean that since around November 2020, when I started to wind down from working on Shock Depot for one year and a half, they don’t mean I wasn’t longing to return to the site and the social media channels where I connect with other horror fans.
No. I was jonesing to return like crazy but today I can officially announce that I’m returning to work actively on Shock Depot to bring horror fans as many horror benefits, horror resources, and horror web entertainment as I can.
So What Now?
Now the website will become enlivened again, since I'll be posting content and resources to it consistently.
Also, I will be promoting the website for other horror lovers to discover it and take advantage of it in any of the many ways the site is useful to horror fans, horror workers, and anyone else involved with the horror genre in any capacity.
