Vidders.net's Cat(alog)

One of the issues with the Vidders.net network is that there are so many vids on the network that it can be hard to find just the one you are looking for. There is now a very user friendly Cat(alog) that will begin to populate with some of the amazing vids on the network by vidders such as Balistik, Luminosity, Charmax, Thedothatgirl, and many more. There are just about 4 right now but we plan on adding about 1,000 more to the collection but it will not be overwhelming as you will be able to search by Vidder, fandom, musical, artist, etc and find what you are looking for very easily.

This catalog can be viewed both inside and outside the network (so you can get a sense of the vids there). If you are not a member you can view at the following Google site link Vidders Catalog (to view the videos you will have to log into the site to see them). We'll update as we get closer to our 1K goal.

Yes, I shamelessly used the word Cat as an abbreviation for Catalog. The audience for Cats is far larger than Vidding even in a community discussion for Vidding so I hope you understand.

We plan to expand this project and create other catalogs to include other collections of awesome vids.

Vidders.net is open for vid hosting, streaming & archiving (especially for vids that may be blocked from any of the other regular video hosting & streaming sites). All videos that stream on the site will be automatically set up for archiving & back up. All videos (yes all 18k plus) hosted on the site hosted since its inception in 2009 and up to the last few months have been backed up both online and offline. Vidders is an AO3 certified embedding host.

Full Disclosure: If you are planning to host there - video quality is not HD or mobile but you can upload as much as you want, comment on other videos, & share them.  (Example video below) You can do so with no concern for strikes, geographic blocking, muting, account deletion because of strikes from prior uploads, forced alternate music tracks, Content ID or pitch shifting. Options for HD and Mobile streaming are available as a premium option on a sister site. More updates to come but just wanted to get something out short and sweet. The platform the site is hosted on has been a steady option since the days the Imeem exodus and closing of services such as viddler, blip.tv and megaupload. PS - The platform the site is hosted on is in a state of flux and recent events has created loopholes that are particularly advantageous to our ability to host vidding content.  If you are already member you can take advantage of this now by logging in and uploading.
