When clicking on the web version, it shows "This website cannot be accessed". When clicking on the app of Tianya Community, it cannot be used normally. The page It says "No network connection".
Netizens paid attention, and more "negative signals" about the Tianya community's operation and capital turnover were exposed.

He explained the reasons behind the paralysis of the platform: In 2013, the company was invited to invest in Chengdu, and then encountered liquidity difficulties, which gradually worsened in the past few years. Until last year, Telecom IDC arrears caused the Tianya community to suspend access, and the business was almost interrupted.

Later, the company was also listed as a restricted high-consumption enterprise by the court. In addition, the company has been executed for a total amount of over 100 million, and has been involved in hundreds of cases, including disputes over reputation rights, disputes over infringement of the right to disseminate work information online, etc.
