On April 30th, the official announcement from Tianya Community stated that access will soon be restored.
The necessary funding for the restoration of the online platform has been secured, and the required procedures are underway. Along with the technical implementation, it will still take some time for the access to be officially restored.
Following the established plan, the initial access restoration will begin with users participating in the Tianya membership program, ensuring data security and compliance, before opening up access to the public.
It is worth noting that Tianya has received a lot of opinions and suggestions in the process of fundraising and business recovery.
Among them, with the concept of "ubiquitous encounters" and the integration of online and offline, the new Tianya is positioned as a "global travel and fashion consumer social e-commerce platform," and it is determined to use "Tianya Guest" as the brand.
Currently, the 1.0 initial version of the Tianya Guest network platform has started targeted internal testing, and offline business has also been launched.
The new Tianya investment entity, "Chengdu Tianya Guest Network Technology Co., Ltd.," with external investors, was established on April 29, 2024, and will accelerate the development of the "Tianya Guest" business.
It is reported that Tianya Community was founded in 1999 and is considered a pioneer of the early Chinese internet. It once enjoyed great popularity, carrying many memories of the post-70s and post-80s generations. Even today, many classic posts, jokes, and quotes originated from Tianya Community.
On April 1st last year, Tianya Community was temporarily inaccessible due to unpaid server fees. Subsequently, funds were raised through livestreaming sales in the hope of relaunching Tianya.
