TVN.hu is a Hungarian web portal offering several services, home of a vast amount of user-generated content. Its "flagship" service is xfree.hu
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 as soon as creditors become fed up.
A handful of mostly elderly people, however, seem to actively use the sites even nowadays, they are still uploading content.
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 portion of the users' contents are available as of 2020, and so the websites can be archived only to a limited extent.
