Zhang Di thought that the website was being updated and maintained, and could be reopened soon, but for several days, Time.com had been closed, and then even the website domain name could not be resolved. Finding something wrong, she then saw the news of Time.com being shut down from some other forums. As for the reason why Time.com was shut down, some people on the forums said it was because Time.com was involved in yellow content, others said it was because the movie reviews on the site were too sharp, and some said it was because Time.com was having financial problems, while more people were posting to express their regret and hope that Time.com would be restored as soon as possible.
A few days later, the news of Time.com's shutdown was picked up by some media outlets and reported by a famous domestic news network, which reported that it "received a notice from the Beijing Municipal Communications Bureau saying that Time.com 'spreads pornography and obscenity,' and thus stopped resolving the domain name.

Reopening "difficult to say"
In November, Beijing Youth Daily, Southern Metropolis Daily, and the Morning Post reported that Time.com had shut down, and that the site was expected to reopen. Sure enough, on November 4, Time.com finally reopened. After clicking into Time.com, the first thing you see is a letter titled "A Letter to Time.com, Thank You for Your Concern and Support", which says: "First of all, I would like to say hello to all of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your concern and support for Time.com. The fact that we were able to come back and meet up with our fans, users and friends means much more than why we were separated and missing for so many days. We have nearly 5 years of day-to-day interaction, and those of you who know Time.com know that we have never had financial or copyright issues or so-called low-level content. We have hard feelings, but we believe that we are connected by our hearts, so please understand ......""Hard Feelings "What exactly is it? What is the reason for the Time.com shutdown? The reporter called the person in charge of several departments of Time.com, the answer is "Sorry, I'm not convenient to answer this question, I will transfer your phone to our colleagues responsible for media publicity, after which we will have a detailed explanation of the situation". For the reporter's interview, even if it is not related to the issue of Time.com, the interviewee is also reticent.
And in the letter from Time.com to netizens, it was also said that the editors were still busy updating the content and movie materials every day, organizing fan activities, and still providing Time.com's netizens with the most up-to-date and timely movie services when the site was inaccessible on a large scale. This shows that Time.com is still operating during the shutdown and is actively preparing for its reopening.
The reason for the closure remains a mystery
After the reopening, Time.com basically didn't have too many changes, and the major sections didn't carry out any special mobilization. From the current situation, Time.com just deleted some sensitive contents, and there was no large-scale modification of the whole website's operation and operation. The reopening of Time.com also made many people feel happy, and there were more than 3,000 people who replied to the post on its website in just 2 days, most of whom were happy about the reopening of the website and also expressed their support for the website. A netizen called Masked Prince left a message saying: "Today, I repeated the action in the days when Time.com was lost, that is, I clicked on Time.com in my favorites to see if I could go in. I believe that in these days, there are many, many Time.com users repeating the action like this, and silently reading in my heart: Time, you come back! After reading this letter from my editor, my eyes suddenly reddened and my heart warmed up, and I also believe that many netizens who left their comments here will also be touched in this way. Indeed, Time.com has become a part of the lives of many of our fans, and a part of our lives. I hope that Time.com will continue to be a wonderful place to live, and a wonderful place to be."
Just 21 days have passed, the real reason for the closure of Time.com may always be a mystery, compared with some other permanent closure of the site, to return to the embrace of the fans is not only Time.com's good fortune, but also the fortunate fans. I believe that in the future, Time.com will be able to avoid risks and make the site better and better. However, as a movie fan, we also hope that Time.com can maintain its own characteristics and let us see more and better movie reviews.
It has been suggested that Time.com was shut down due to the provision of information on the controversial movie "The Sandwich Valley" .
