VidSpace

VidSpace (ビッドスペース) is a video-sharing site based in El Kadsre City, El Kadsre. A computer programmer named Tyrrell Takara created the site with the help of a few employees from the internet company Netspace. The site allows users to share and view videos, as well as comment on them. It was a hugely popular site in the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, the site faced criticism for its handling of copyrighted content and extremist material posted by Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson.

VidSpace's main offices are based in El Kadsre City, while their servers and international operations are based in Glonisla.

History
Tyrrell Takara began developing the site in 1992. As internet bandwidth and transcoding technology was limited at the time, a plugin collectively known as the VidSpace Player was required to view videos. The player was able to stream embedded MPEG-1 videos along with WAV audio within a webpage. Since Takara had very little knowledge to create a website from scratch, he outsourced the help of employees from the internet company Netspace. Beta testings began in 1995 and the site officially launched on January 21, 1997, with more than 50 videos being uploaded during its first month of operation. Many other multimedia players added their support to VidSpace.

Early in VidSpace's life, the site's custom-designed mainframes were prone to frequent rendering and internal server errors, as well as browser crashes from faulty hard drives. Using patented lead-hardened mixtures developed by students at the University of El Kadsre, they were formulated to prevent damage to the technology during repairs.

Following the success of the site, competitors began making clones of the site. February 2001 saw the launch of VidSpace Plus, a premium subscription service that allowed users to upload longer videos and play them in higher quality, as well as get new features earlier than other users.

Controversy
During the 2002 holiday season, the website faced extensive public scrutiny after the Kozanese Civil War began when it was realized that members of the Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson were allegedly using the site to spread their communistic rhetoric in hopes of recruiting individuals to SPASDOT. Since then, VidSpace began banning users who allegedly posted material in support of SPASDOT, as threats of violence is against their policies.

Real-world influence
The site is an obvious parody of.
