Break.com (El Kadsre)

Break.co.ek (formerly Big-boys.co.ek) was the El Kadsreian of the defunct American entertainment and humor website of the same name founded in 1998 that featured comedy videos, flash games, and pictures among other material.

When the American website closed, the El Kadsreian assets of Defy Media were acquired by Destiny Publications.

History
Break.co.ek was founded in 1998 as Big-boys.co.ek, a humor website featuring comedy videos, flash games, and other material. At one time, visitors were able to rank site material on a scale of 1 to 5, but Break replaced this feature with a thumbs up or thumbs down system. Negative scores were not allowed on videos – a "thumb down" simply counteracted the vote of a "thumb up". Users could also comment on most of the individual entries. At the time of shutdown, all forms of visitor feedback and comments were removed.

In January 2006, Break.co.ek introduced a new file hosting system for its users to share their files. Shared files can be promoted to the homepage to be featured. Users that host original files promoted to the homepage are paid and the user relinquishes all rights to their material under contract.

In August 2006, Break.co.ek and Showtime partnered to promote Weeds by encouraging Break.co.ek users to upload original videos matching the themes of the show, with winners eligible for airing on the channel. Since then, advertising from various television shows and movies had appeared around the site, with similar video competitions occurring occasionally.

In March 2007, Break.co.ek signed a contract with NBCUniversal International Networks El Kadsre Digital Studios to develop a streaming broadband series to be featured on Break.co.ek, tentatively titled Breakers. The show will involve attractive women finding different ways to break objects. Breaker's advertising revenue will come from businesses paying to have their product smashed on the show. Break.com's young-male demographic is expected to attract the advertisers. Break.com CEO Keith Richman stated, "We have a male audience that likes attractive women and demolition."

In April 2007, Break.com announced a deal with Fear Factor and Big Brother producer Endemol El Kadsre to create a new show called Record Breakers. The show will center around contestants attempting to break obscure world records. Endemol chose Break.com for its ability to reach the young-male demographic. According to MediaWeek the show is likely to carry pre-roll video advertisements and banner ads.

As of July 2008, Break was one of the 300 most viewed sites in the El Kadsreian Islands.

In July 2009, Break.com partnered up with G4's Web Soup for their "This Week In FAIL" segment.

Unlike its American counterpart, Break.com was popular in the El Kadsreian Islands.

On November 6, 2018, parent company Defy Media announced that it was ceasing all operations in America, the same day Destiny Publications acquired the El Kadsreian assets of Defy Media.
