Overview
Formally announced on April 7, 2008 [1] speculation to The Scream Factory and its involved parties had been swirling around the internet for some time.[2] Many of the first titles released by The Scream Factory were released or partially released by the short-lived Fangoria Comics which closed in September 2007.[3] Not a traditional publisher, The Scream Factory is said to be "an alliance of film, music, literary and comic book professionals" [4]

gollark: Basically any modern computer is capable of billions of operations a second and storing gigabytes of data. Most of the slow websites are trying to render probably a few hundred kilobytes of text at most (maybe video/images, but there's dedicated fast hardware for that). The issue is awful code at many levels.
gollark: Simply use old reddit, which is better.
