==Burning Souls==
Burning Souls was a Nine Inch Nails fansite containing a discography, art, lyrics, tours, news, reviews, and other information, as well as being associated with nincollector.com. 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.

==Happiness In Slavery==
Happiness In Slavery (aka nineinch.com) was an Australian NIN fan site run by John Raptis. It contained a message board, articles, photos, downloads, and various multimedia.
==Nails in my Head==
[https://www.theninhotline.com/features/nimh/ Nails in my Head] was the first NIN fan site created by [[User:Leviathant|leviathant]]. It was originally created in 1995 to host his S3M file recreations of NIN songs. He continued to add content to it over the years, as needed or requested, including NIN graphics, fonts, lyrics, and info about rarities. Work on the site was abandoned in 1999 when leviathant collaborated to create [[The NIN Hotline]].

==The Unofficial Nine Inch Nails Homepage==
Jason Patterson launched the Unofficial Nine Inch Nails Homepage on his Florida State University personal site in 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.
