On the evening of February 28, Xing Ming, the founder of Tianya Community, responded to the "bankruptcy" storm and explained that the incident was because an employee of the company filed a bankruptcy application with the court, demanding payment of about 200,000 yuan in arrears of wages. Xing Ming said that the company has not been affected too much, and will announce a timetable for resuming access on March 1, and plans to launch value-added services for users' data. Xing Ming also revealed that Tianya encountered unexpected new difficulties at the end of December last year, and even faced the risk of data being emptied, so the previously announced restart plan had to be postponed. After long-term negotiations with telecom and other sectors, Tianya has reached a more optimistic agreement, and plans to issue a new announcement on March 1, announcing the target timetable for resuming access and launching a new Tianya, as well as announcing user value-added services related to data storage.
Founded in April 1999, Tianya Community is a network technology company, and its main revenue is its "Hainan" business and matrix. In this bankruptcy turmoil, Xing Ming said that the company will optimize the platform, pay more attention to some subtraction, and focus on launching a new Tianya platform to combine e-commerce business and attract more young users.
The bankruptcy incident has attracted widespread attention on the Internet. After the official website and app of Tianya Community could not be accessed normally, many netizens expressed their regret for this change and mourned the Tianya Community on social platforms. Users who used to visit Tianya often expressed great regret and were disappointed that they could no longer browse the content of the Tianya community.
Similar to this incident, it is not uncommon for similar online platforms to go bankrupt or become inaccessible. In the past few years, a number of well-known self-leading platforms have fallen into bankruptcy due to broken capital chains, poor management or irregularities. For example, in 2019, Microwhale Technology's self-leading platform "Yidian Information" fell into bankruptcy, and user access was blocked for a while. In the same year, Qingmang magazine was also shut down due to the rupture of the capital chain, which attracted widespread attention.
For the future of Tianya Community, Xing Ming said that the platform will be optimized, more attention will be paid to the combination with e-commerce business, and attract more young users. This shows that Tianya Community will adopt a more flexible business model in the restart after the bankruptcy event to adapt to the current development trend of the Internet and improve the user experience.
The impact of this bankruptcy event on society is mainly reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, many users can no longer access the content of Tianya Community, which hinders social communication and information transmission to a certain extent. On the other hand, as a well-known self-leading platform, the bankruptcy of Tianya community will trigger thinking and discussion on the profit model and development prospects of the self-leading industry.
At present, the matter is still in progress, and the court has opened a hearing to exchange information, hoping to resolve the issue of employees' unpaid wages through legal proceedings. For the latest situation and future development of the Tianya community, we also need to pay attention to follow-up announcements and news.
To sum up, the bankruptcy of Tianya community has had a certain impact on society and users. This incident exposed some of the operational dilemmas and challenges that some self-leading platforms may face, and sparked discussions about self-profit models and sustainable development. At the same time, it also makes people realize that the operation of the self-leading platform cannot be ignored, and more attention needs to be paid to capital management and business innovation. For the Tianya community, this incident is also a warning that the platform needs to be optimized and attract more young users to ensure future development. In the self-leading industry, will the occurrence of bankruptcy events lead to more similar bankruptcy cases? How can the platform survive and thrive in a highly competitive market? These are questions that require us to think deeply.
