it's a start...
'''nin.com''' is the official website for [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It has had a long and storied history. It is currently in its transitional phase to a Year Zero format. All With Teeth pages have been removed as of July 29, 2007.
==Fragility==During the Fragility period, nin.com was designed with backgrounds and art in the style of the album artwork created by David Carson. The site contained journal entries which were posted on the site by [[Rob Sheridan]], who had been newly hired to update and organise the site, detailing the progress of recording the album, as well as a discussion board. Sound loops from the songs "[[Starfuckers, Inc.]]" and "[[The Day The World Went Away (song)|The Day The World Went Away]]" were posted on the site prior to the release of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' and are [http://www.theninhotline.net/halo99/01/01.htm available here]. Images, backgrounds, sound files and screen shots of this version of nin.com have been archived at [[The NIN Hotline]] [http://www.theninhotline.net/halo99/ here].Fragile-era nin.com screen-shots:<gallery>Image:Random01.jpgImage:Random02.jpgImage:Archive.jpgImage:Nstudios.jpg</gallery> ==pre-With Teeth==From 2004 onwards, prior to the release of ''[[With Teeth]]'', nin.com had a sparse and minimalist layout with a plain white background and black smudged typewriter font. The site contained a "Current" section that was updated occasionally with photos and information on the progress of the album, a "Body of Work" section with information on each of the [[Halo numbers|Halos]] and a visuals section with music videos available for viewing. A new Q&A section titled [[nin.com/access|Access]] was also a feature of the site where members of NIN answered user submitted questions.<gallery>Image:Nin.comv6 front 1.JPG|nin.com is front pageImage:Body of work.JPG|body of work page</gallery> ==With Teeth==In 2005 for the release of ''With Teeth'', nin.com was updated with a picture front page with links to purchase the album and watch "[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]" video. Viral teaser trailers were also hidden pages on the site, named with lines from songs that would appear on the album.Later, the front page was changed to display photos taken at various destinations on the [[With Teeth Tour]], and called the site "nin.com V6". The pages of the site which had previously had blank backgrounds were changed to ''With Teeth''-style art and the font was also changed. A blog section titled "TR" was added, where Trent would post comments and messages. The [[nin.com/access|Access]] section continued to be updated by Reznor, with [[Aaron North]] and [[Jerome Dillon]] answering a set of questions, titled "part one", however, due to Dillon's departure from the band , it was to be the last time the section was updated. The site also contained a downloads section containing desktop backgrounds. All ''With Teeth''-era videos, trailers and downloads can be found [http://www.nin.com:81/with_teeth/ here]. <gallery>Image:V6 front 1.JPG|nin.com V6 front pageImage:Nin.comv6 front 2.JPG|nin.com indexImage:Nin.com v6 live.JPG|performance page</gallery> ==Year Zero==Following the release of ''[[Year Zero]]'', nin.com was updated to V6.9 with a YZ-themed background and font. All previous pages, apart from Performance and Merch were deleted, leaving a basic front page with a photo on. As the [[Performance 2007]] tour began, more pages were added to the site, including a page written in Russian, a page in Chinese and a page in Korean, added as the band performed in the countries for the first time. Links to the ''Year Zero'' site and NIN's official youtube account were also added, the former is where live performance videos and video diaries have been uploaded. A photo blog was also added to the front page and updated several times a day during the tour. At present, the band are back in the studio and the front page of nin.com is updated periodicallywith messages from Trent, photos and Youtube videos showing work in the studio. Additionally, site visitors may comment on the current picture.
We have a compiled a current and updated list of all pictures posted on the 6.9 version of nin.com. This is the nin.com picture archive:
