Tianya Plans June Relaunch — Selling 1,999‑Yuan Founder Packs to Rescue an Internet Archive

Tianya, one of China’s most influential online forums, says it will restore access on June 1, 2026, and is selling 9,999 limited “founder” packages at 1,999 yuan each to fund data preservation and relaunch costs. The initiative combines nostalgia-driven crowdfunding with a commercial pivot that highlights broader tensions about digital heritage, platform sustainability and user trust in China’s changing internet landscape.
