CTOnews.com, May 28 (Xinhua) Tianya Community was once one of the most influential websites on the Chinese Internet, and it is also the youth memory of many early netizens. But since April 25, 2023, this old forum, which was founded in 1999, has been inaccessible, causing heated discussion and nostalgia among netizens.

For the recent suspension of access services, "Tianya Community" official WeChat issued a notice in response. It is said that Tianya Community has indeed encountered liquidity difficulties recently, raising funds in many ways and restarting with all its strength.

According to the announcement, it has been nearly two months since Tianya issued an announcement on April 1, which has aroused widespread concern among netizens, netizens and people from all walks of life, especially the safe preservation of the data of hundreds of millions of users for more than 24 years. For this, "I deeply apologize and feel deep remorse for not being able to provide services to the majority of users continuously."

It is said that Tianya community inadvertently formed investment losses and seriously thwarted the layout of Tianya's transformation to the mobile Internet. Although the subsequent disputes and lawsuits have been coordinated by many parties, they have not yet come out of the dilemma. Over the past few years, they have further triggered a chain reaction such as bank loan suspension and high compensation for employee turnover, resulting in the overall capital liquidity crisis of Tianya Company.

Due to the difficulty of capital liquidity, the accumulated arrears of telecom IDC fees in recent years have reached a state where it is impossible to coordinate and negotiate. In addition, it has also found that some technical problems of the platform itself need to be improved, such as technical upgrades, data restructuring and product downsizing, etc., so "access services have been suspended".

Officials also stressed that the security of user data assets must be taken seriously, which has recently received strong support from relevant government departments and telecom operators. In addition, we will raise funds from all sides to restart Tianya. On the premise of not destroying the ecology of the user community, we will steadily promote commercialization and achieve the sustainable survival and development of Tianya.

"Green Peak is not covered, Tianya is not far away. ── announcement on the recent suspension of access services of Tianya Community."

Dear Tianya users:

It has been nearly two months since Tianya announced the suspension of visits on April 1, which has aroused widespread concern among netizens, netizens and people from all walks of life, even for fear that Tianya will be closed permanently, triggering a "commemorative tide" among Chinese around the world. and pay special attention to the safe preservation of the data of hundreds of millions of users for more than 24 years, for which we deeply apologize and feel deeply sorry for not being able to provide continuous services to the majority of users.

We do have liquidity difficulties. Tianya Community is a popular and influential network platform in the PC Internet era. During the critical period of mobile Internet transformation, Tianya Community was invited to Chengdu and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the people's Government of Jinjiang District of Chengdu to establish Tianya National Mobile Internet headquarters Base there, inadvertently resulting in investment losses and serious setbacks in Tianya Community's transition to mobile Internet. Although the subsequent disputes and lawsuits have been coordinated by many parties, they have not yet come out of the dilemma. Over the past few years, they have further triggered a chain reaction such as bank loan suspension and high compensation for employee turnover, resulting in the overall capital liquidity crisis of Tianya Company. At present, all parties are still working hard, hoping to reach a fair and reasonable solution, so that the key crux of the difficulties in the capital chain circulation of Tianya community in recent years can be resolved.

Due to the difficulty of capital liquidity, the accumulated arrears of telecom IDC fees in recent years have reached a state where it is impossible to coordinate and negotiate. In addition, we have also found that some technical problems of the platform itself need to be improved, such as technology upgrading, data reconstruction and product slimming, which will greatly reduce telecommunications costs and optimize user experience, which will be conducive to the follow-up sustainable development. As a result, Tianya community had no choice but to suspend the access service.

As a "global Chinese online home" that has served netizens for more than 24 years, Tianya Community widely covers the post-60 to part of the post-90s user groups, carrying the youthful memories of a generation of netizens. We are well aware that hundreds of millions of users have left huge amounts of original content, interactive data, social relationships and life tracks on Tianya, and the security of user data assets must be highly valued and coordinated. Recently, this has received strong support from relevant government departments and telecom operators.

After the suspension of the Internet, the attention of netizens and the media exceeded our expectations. The majority of netizens' complex for Tianya deeply moved us and made us feel ashamed at the same time. Tianya Community is a charming original content and popular topic platform in the history of Chinese Internet jointly created by hundreds of millions of netizens. We have always believed that Tianya users have made Tianya a success.

Here, countless Tianya people interpret their colorful online life, 24 years since its establishment, there has been glory and glory, but also experienced a variety of difficulties and ups and downs. Out of love for Tianya, Song Zheng, former executive editor-in-chief of Tianya, and some senior Tianya netizens spontaneously organized the activity of "restart Tianya for seven days and seven nights". They will restart the Tianya account through Douyin. There will be a seven-day and seven-night non-stop live broadcast from May 28, and all the money raised will be used to pay for the relevant fees needed to open the network for Tianya. In order to help Tianya community resume its services to netizens.

"restart Tianya" activity has received widespread attention from all walks of life, but also gave us great encouragement, we will fully support this activity, at the same time, we are also raising funds to restart Tianya. This once high-quality Chinese original content network shrine will be preserved for a long time, with the support of the majority of netizens, we will make history again.

These years in the trough of reflection and many waves of nostalgia, but also inspired the future development of Tianya.

First of all, it is necessary to find the original heart of Tianya and find the genetic code that Tianya people once had a sense of belonging. The years will change, and the cooking smoke has gone away, but people's desire to find their hometown and home will become stronger and stronger from generation to generation. We will continue to carry the vision of "Global Chinese online Home" and continue to be the most humane, humane and warm online virtual community in the Internet world.

Secondly, Tianya should focus on its own advantages, belong to the Chinese mass original content social platform, focus on the mobile user experience, the road to simple, return to the simple and fresh Tianya.

Thirdly, it is necessary to take the user value-added service as the core and establish an ecosystem that brings value-added to the user's data assets. Keeping pace with the times, big data, based on Tianya users, can jointly launch digital human assistant or digital split service with large-scale artificial intelligence service platform, which will bring more fun for Tianya people to interpret online life.

In addition, combined with the opportunities of Hainan Free Trade Port, Tianya users strictly select global consumer products and provide membership-based social e-commerce services.

On the basis of the exploration over the past years, Tianya will steadily promote commercialization and achieve the sustainable survival and development of Tianya on the premise of not destroying the ecology of the user community.

If the green mountains are not covered, the end of the world is not far away!

We believe that to maintain this good memory of Tianya by Chinese people all over the world, to hold on to this unique spiritual home that can place the soul, and to have the recognition and support of the vast number of Tianya users, through restart, restructuring and reconstruction, New Tianya will be reborn. Reinvigorated!

Thank you again for your love from all walks of life!

Welcome the majority of netizens to help Tianya restart to provide help and suggestions, please contact us!
