Changes

'''nin.com''' is the official website for [[Nine Inch Nails]]. It has had a long and storied history. It went live in 1999 and the first [[Halo numbers|Halo]] to mention it was ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]''. It is currently in its transitional phase to from a ''[[Hesitation Marks]]''-themed format.

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 organize the site, detailing the progress of recording the album, as well as a discussion board. Sound loops from the songs "[[Starfuckers, Inc. (song)|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 Images, backgrounds, sound files and screen shots of this version of nin.com have been archived at [[The NIN Hotline]] [http://www.theninhotline.net/halo99/ here].

From 2003 onwards, prior to the release of ''[[With Teeth (halo)|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 [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music videos]] available for viewing. A Q&A section titled [[nin.com/access|Access]] was also a feature of the site where members of NIN answered user submitted questions.
