Kineteen

Kineteen (stylized as KiNetEEN) is a video-sharing website based in Tsuki. It is supposed to imitate 90's TV channels, hence the name, which is a pun on the word Nineteen. The website is intended for children to view (because of the popularity of children's channels rising in the United States), however there is a adults section which also airs shows marked as "18+" and there is a educational version intended for preschool viewers called Kineteen Jr.

Series that were created around 1999 - 2008 are called “KineToons”, a reference to Nicktoons.

It's domain was registered on November 23, 1999.

Early ages (1999 - 2003)
Jackie Pauk and his friend Patrick Nuisance first made the earliest version of Kineteen on November 27, 1999, as a project to "emulate" the kinds of TV channels at the time. However, with a twist: The programming was almost completely user generated. Jackie Pauk started working on the site, and set a deadline for 2004. In 2001, the "old TV" theme was kept as a tribute to the channels during the 1990's and the site was released.

Rise and "Golden Age" (2003 - 2009)
In 2003, Kineteen started growing. By March, Kineteen had 4,000 users and 3,500 companies. It introduced the wallet along with KineMovies, which are both used for each other.

In 2004, Kineteen introduced the website "Kineteen HD" which was the same as the normal Kineteen website but with the old TV filter removed and set to HD quality on everything.

Only a month later, Kineteen Jr. was introduced.

In 2005, since many show makers on Kineteen were putting games of their shows on their site, Kineteen introduced Kineteen.com, where Kineteen creators could make pages for their series, one of the sections letting them make and upload flash games to the section. A Kineteen account was required to make show pages.

Kineteen introduced home video a few months later that could be purchased with the virtual wallet in VHS, DVD, or FLHV format and brought to one's house. One could also just have a virtual copy sent to their library, on their dashboard.

Modern era (2009 - present)
In 2009, Kineteen HD was moved from kineteenhd.com to hd.kineteen.tv because Jackie Pauk said it was "more accessible".

In 2019, all pages on Kineteen.com with flash games were shut down for 3 months so all of them could be converted to HTML5. HTML5 was the new recommended format. .swf games are still allowed but the same operation will happen again at the start of November 2020.

Creation
One can create commercials, shows, companies, or logos to use on shows. One does not have to put in their real name to use Kineteen. However, usernames are required to have it formatted as "first name last name' for their name.

Movies
There is a section called KineMovies, where someone can create a original movie or create a movie based on their series. One can get movies by having enough money for it in their wallet, which was introduced in 2003 along with KineMovies. One can get money in their wallet by paying, making series, working for a Kineteen company, and reaching streaks for going on Kineteen a lot of days. If one gets wallet money by means of real money, the money will be donated by PayPal. Unless one marks a movie as for TV, the movie will instantly premiere. Unlike on shows where the Kineteen logo is optional, the Kineteen Movies logo is required on KineMovies and cannot be removed. However, if one decides to put the logos at the credits, the KineMovies logo will move to there.

KineMovies will occasionally air not made for TV movies. however, made for TV movies are more commonly aired.
