TVN.hu

TVN.hu is a Hungarian web portal offering several services, home to a vast amount of user-generated content dating back to 2006. Its "flagship" service is xfree.hu.
The website is – recently – used predominantly by elderly people. The popularity of the website has declined, but some users are still active.
The TVN.hu company's balance has been deeply in the red for years now, so the sites are endangered. Not being popular and known in wide circles, it will certainly disappear soon.
== Content deletion ==
According to a blog post, in 2018 TVN.hu turned to be a paid service, and those who didn't subscribe were eliminated from the system, and their content got deleted.
This explains why most of the users' accounts are not available. It seems that only a fraction of the users' contents are available as of 2020, and so the websites can be archived only to a limited extent.
A user discovery made on 2020-08-14 discovered 9430 users, but only 86(!) accounts seem to be still working. That is, more than 99% of the user accounts, along with their contents, were deleted in 2018.
=== Videos ===
The above doesn't apply to videos. It seems that even deleted users' uploaded videos can be browsed and watched on video.xfree.hu. According to the September 2020 discovery results, 127,223 videos are hosted, dating back to 2006, but it seems that on 2018-10-03 video uploading has been disabled.
Sometime between 2021-02-28 and 2021-04-19, the video.xfree.hu service ceased to exist, and perhaps all videos got deleted.
== Site structure ==
The company provides many different services on different domains.
The following services belong to – and can be archived per – certain users:
* $USER.xfree.hu – Photo albums (example)

As of 2015, there were approximately 270,000 photo albums, 4 million blog entries, 36,000 videos. Most of them got deleted in 2018.
The tvn.hu website also provides e-mail service to their users.
