On February 25th, 2007, several fans noticed a "glitch" next to the song "[[In This Twilight]]" on yearzero.nin.com. Later that night, an [[Echoing the Sound|ETS]] member found a USB key at a concert in the UK. He handed it off to a friend who contacted several sources online to host the song and image which were on the USB key. Later, another website, [[Hollywood in Memoriam]], was discovered.
On February 27th, [[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]] was launched, and a new website was found trough the booklet, [[Solutions Backwards Initiative]], which also lead to [[Secure Broadcast Informatics]].
On March 3th, a different AIR flyer was handed out at the show in London which led fans to a billboard and two new websites, [[Operation Swamp 0000]] and [[Operation Chip Sweep]].
On March 7th, 2007, several USB drives given out before the Nine Inch Nails concert in London were revealed to contain both the high-resolution and low-resolution versions of the "[[Survivalism (song)|Survivalism]]" video. The video had led to the discovery of three more sites - [[The Water Turned To Blood]], [[Judson Ogram Correctional Facility]], and [[Cedocore]].
When fans pre-ordered [[Year Zero]] at listening parties, they recieved a lithograph. Hidden in the lithograph was another web site - [[The Mailstrom]]. Several "Wreckage/Shard" combinations have been discovered through various means, including buttons given out at other listening parties.
Countless NIN fans were sent [[The Price Of Treason|an email]] on March 27th, 2007, leading to the discovery of two new sites -- [[The Price of Treason]] and [[Open Source Resistance]]. It is unknown how the list of recipients was compiled, although theories indicate it was a combined subset of Spiral Members, NIN Newsletter subscribers, and those who sent emails to various addresses involved in the ARG. Around April 5th, [[Year Zero]] leaked on the web, and a new website was found through one of the songs: [[Grace The Teacher]]. It was also found out who [[Darren Kroupa]] really is.
The [[Year Zero Research|Year Zero Research Page]] is being constantly updated to track recent developments, theories, and essentially organize the [[Year Zero]] events into a cohesive storyline. Check out the [[Research Timeline]] to see how the events unfolded.
