==With Teeth==
In 2005 for the release of ''With Teeth'', nin.com was updated with a 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 Reznor]] 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''-related pages except the nin.com/visuals page had been removed as of March 24, 2008.

==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 these countries for the first time. Links to the ''Year Zero'' site and NIN's official [http://www.youtube.com/ninofficial YouTube account] were also added, the former is where live performance videos and video diaries were uploaded. A photo blog was also added to the front page and updated several times a day during the tour. The band were back in the studio and the front page of nin.com was updated periodically with messages from TrentReznor, photos and YouTube videos showing work in the studio. Additionally, site visitors could comment on the current picture. See the Wayback Machine for nin.com circa [https://web.archive.org/web/20070101000000*/nin.com 2007].

''The Slip''-themed design of the site continued to be updated to the nin.com 7.0 layout; beginning on the 14th of August 2008 when Spiral and [[ETS]] members were informed by [[Rob Sheridan]] that a new beta of the site would be up shortly. The links to the new site were soon announced with a forum, IRC chat, and links hinting to future updates to the site. Subsequently, on the 3rd of September 2008, nin.com publicly launched the beta, with anyone who has a nin.com account able to use it, completely free, including full use of the forums, IRC chat, all [[Nin.com#Sub-sites|sub-sites]] and a comprehensive links page, linking all official and non-official nin pages from the [[ninternet]].Here is the official welcome message originally posted on nin.com by Trent Reznor:
