Formerly named The Adventurers and run by Zac Hoover, Jack Lay, Nolan Corbett, and Kirin James, this channel has been around since May of 2012. After renaming the channel Hoshcof in 2014, Zac Hoover has been running the channel by himself, uploading on a regular basis. Even though having been around for nearly four years, the channel didn't break the 100 subscriber mark until September 18, 2014, when he uploaded his first theory video on Five Nights At Freddy's, an indie horror game developed by Scott Cawthon. Shortly thereafter, his channel skyrocketed. His subscriber count and view count just kept going up. Things were going very well for Zac. He made lots of videos, talking about his theories on the Five Nights At Freddy's series, bringing in a total of roughly $9,000 between September 18, 2014 and January 31, 2015. But then, he became bored with the series, believing that it's creator, Scott Cawthon, was putting minimal effort into making the games so that he could publish them sooner and get more money while the public wanted more Five Nights At Freddy's. It seemed that Zac was almost alone in this realization, however, as many fans of the series defended it. Zac stopped making Five Nights At Freddy's videos, refusing to give it more attention, because he didn't want to encourage Scott to continue the series. Hoping his fans would understand, Zac stated many times that he was done with the Five Nights At Freddy's series. But his fans wouldn't listen. They relentlessly attacked him, wanting more Five Nights At Freddy's videos. Hoshcof kept declining, and so did his view and subscriber count. Then, on May 28, 2016, Zac made the realization that his channel wasn't about what he wanted: it was about what the fans wanted. He made a video asking if he should return to the Five Nights At Freddy's series. The results were 25 to 2, so he decided to give the series a second chance. The views increased by roughly 10-20 per video, before dropping again.
