It also had a discussion forum that, while smaller in size to [[Echoing the Sound]], had a dedicated userbase. The site had a history of stability problems, but it lasted much longer than the average fansite, from 1993-2013.

==Painful Convictions==
Painful Convictions was a popular NIN fansite. It was first created in early 1995 under the name "NAILS Links." Back in those days the site was no more than a simple link list. In time the site grew, and in the fall of 1996 the domain, 9inchnails.com, was graciously donated by Radiks Internet Access. After that, the site greatly expanded and went through several metamorphoses. In around 2000, the site was sold to MusicFans.com. While MusicFans continued to employ Matt Brink for upkeep, the company couldn't survive the fall of the dot coms and the site fell back into complete control of Matt Brink. The site was also home to the Perfect Isolation message boards. In 2008, it was rebranded as NIN Source at ninsource.com. The site went defunct in 2011. ==Portrait of Decay==Portrait of Decay was an archive of preserved/reconstructed iterations of [[nin.com]] and all of its various sub-sites. There were tentative plans for [[The NIN Hotline]] to acquire the site's content, but this hasn't yet happened.
==Seething Animosity==
Seething Animosity was a website that cataloged and reviewed Nine Inch Nails [[bootlegs]], both live recordings and unauthorized compilations and mixes, that were often sold in independent record stores as "imports". It was initially created by Jerry and hosted on his personal webpage at RIT, where it was updated through 1995. [https://www.csh.rit.edu/~jerry/old/nin_ri/backup.html] Subsequent to that, Christopher Schulte copied the data and updated it, including cover images, through 2000 on his own website.

==The Unofficial Nine Inch Nails Homepage==
Jason Patterson launched the Unofficial Nine Inch Nails Homepage on his Florida State University personal site on May 17, 1994. [https://groups.google.com/g/alt.music.nin/c/jHcTrqvvg5I/m/SGUIKxDiDdcJ] It hosted images, audio files, lyrics, copies of the NIN Discography and NIN FAQ from [[alt.music.nin]], guitar tabs, interviews, and other files and information. Due to its reliable hosting, early launch, good design, and comprehensive content, it quickly became the most popular NIN fansite on the nascent World Wide Web. It went through three major site designs: a ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|
Downward Spiral]]'' theme when it launched, a ''[[Further Down the Spiral]]''/[[Dissonance]] (pagan imagery) theme in 1995, and the final design, a "[[The Perfect Drug (halo)|Perfect Drug]]" theme in 1997. In late 1995, it moved to its own domain: nothing.nin.net. Although it hasn't been updated since 1997, Patterson continues to own and host the website. [https://nothing.nin.net]
nin.net also hosted the Hope and Vaseline Fanzine [https://hnv.nin.net/] and NIN News [https://news.nin.net], one of the first NIN news websites, which Patterson continued to update from January 1997 through October 1998.
Because of the popularity of the Unofficial Homepage, NIN management contracted with Patterson to have him build the official Nothing Records homepage in 1996 at nothingrecords.com (and eventually the official NIN web presence). Patterson provided semi-regular status updates on NIN News, but the site never launched. [https://web.archive.org/web/19970126224943/http://www.nothingrecords.com:80/] Apparently, they parted ways in late 1998, probably coincident with when Patterson also stopped providing updates on NIN News, and the official nin.com website launched in May 1999, under Rob Sheridan's stewardship.
