== Track Listing Discovery==[[Image:Yearzerodotnin feb25.jpg|thumb|View of front page - Feb 25, 2007]][[Image:yearzeronincom.jpg|thumb|Final front page view]]The official subsection of the nin.com website pertaining to ''[[Year Zero]]''.
Go to [http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?t=20158 this thread] on ETS for discussion of this website==Content==When the website went live, it contained only a portion of completely different image than the image one displayed now, and instead of song titles, there was a vertical list of zeros. The Over time the length of this list changed frequently, along with the number of zeros in each entry. This was the first indication that something strange was happening in regards to [[''Year Zero]]''.
=== Track Listing ===Eventually, the listing stopped changing and 16 entries were left. Over the next week or so, three titles were revealed, one at a time: "[[The Beginning of the End]]", "[[God Given, ]]" and "[[Vessel]]". By this point, fans were already wildly speculating what would happen next.
On February 12, 2007, [[ETS]] user [http://www.echoingthesound.org user /phpbbx/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=6668 ianmatthews ] posted a track list he found from Soulseek. [http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?p=810006] Soon after, the remaining 13 titles were revealed on yearzero.nin.com. It is not known whether or not this was intentional or if it was simply a reaction to the track listing leak.
This part [[User:Malechite|Malechite]] put together Yzminisiteanimation.gif[http://bloggernista.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/yzminisiteanimation.gif] an animation of the page is unlikely to change, since it is now set in stoneimage unfolding using the images saved at Symphony of Noise.
== Hidden Images ==Then some distortion was added to the image, appearing next to the track "[[My Violent Heart]]" right before the song leaked, next to the track "[[Me, I'm Not]]" around the time that song was leaked and then the distortion appeared next to the track "[[In This Twilight]]" shortly before it leaked.
===Survivalism Video===Static appeared on "[[Survivalism (song)|Survivalism]]", shortly thereafter the "Survivalism" music video was leaked and then released on [http://yearzero.nin.com the Year Zero website].* [http://yearzero.nin.com/survivalism/survivalism_hi.mov High resolution]* [http://yearzero.nin.com/survivalism/survivalism_lo.mov Low resolution] The image for the video appeared and then changed to [http://yearzero.nin.com/survivalism/cover.html halo23_cover.jpg] and a PDF of the lyrics to the song appeared.[http://yearzero.nin.com/survivalism/survivalism.pdf pdf here] Next to appear were links to a trailer. === Trailer ===[[Image:Yearzero video hi frame135.jpg|thumbnail|Road sign in the ''Year Zero'' trailer]] The [[trailer]] released on [http://yearzero.nin.com the Year Zero website] contains an image of [[The Presence]].* [http://boss.streamos.com/download/interscope/nin/yearzero/yearzero_hi.mov High resolution]* [http://boss.streamos.com/download/interscope/nin/yearzero/yearzero_lo.mov Low resolution] In the video, the camera quickly glances over a road sign witch reads "[[I AM TRYING TO BELIEVE]]". A "[[Image:Yearzero video hi frame325.jpg|glitch]]" later in the video briefly shows the text "/0024", which quickly led fans to discover the page http://yearzero.nin.com/0024. According to the file name, the image on that page was found to be the cover for the ''Year Zero'' album. The album art appeared on the page and eventually a link to a listen link. === Listen ===[[Image:Yzplayer.jpg|thumb|The flash player on yearzero.nin.com.]] Less than a day after the original ''Year Zero'' promo leak occurred, yearzero.nin.com was updated on April 4, 2007, with a ''listen to year zero'' link that launches a [http://yearzero.nin-thespiral.com/FLJoi4gjw2f/player.html flash player] streaming the entire album. ([http://www.portraitofdecay.com/yearzero.nin.com/index-be.html yearzero.nin.com] archived on 2007.04.04 with working flash player.) '''fuzz.flv'''When listening to the album in this player, occasionally the image would flicker and become fuzzy for a few seconds before returning to normal. [[User:Disorganized|Disorganized]] decompiled the flash file and found a file called fuzz.flv containing the various flickering images. So far, one image of a silhouetted figure standing has been found. It appears to look similar to the image of Trent on the ''[[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]]'' DVD cover. It is also present in the Temporary Internet Files Folder but resembles an zoomed in appearance of 'The Presence' from the ''Year Zero'' trailer. Upon further tinkering with the fuzz.flv image, Several other images have been found. Two of which occur on the black bar banner occurring at the beginning and end of the short video file. They both appear to have lettering and/or a phrase written through the middle of the bar. Also a blue clip of the file showcases a darker human like figure, also could be interpreted as 'The Presence'. '''Mr. Brightside'''[[User:Disorganized|Disorganized]] also found that, upon decompiling the flash file, the words "Mr. Brightside" appear in the track listing. Speculation suggests that this could have possibly been the name of the scrapped bonus track for the Japan release of ''Year Zero''. ===Multitrack Files===Multitrack copies of the songs "Survivalism", "The Beginning Of The End", "Vessel", "Me, I'm Not", "[[Capital G (song)|Capital G]]", "God Given" and "My Violent Heart" have been added to the page in [http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/ Garageband] format, and with links to torrents with the songs in raw files to be used in other applications so that fans could remix the song. ===AIR Flag===An image of an AIR flag was added to the bottom of the page and linked to [[Art_Is_Resistance]], then a resources link was added. ===Wallpapers===''Year Zero'' and themed wallpapers have been made available to download in various sizes as zip files. ===Resources Link===http://yearzero.nin.com/resources/index.html Parent Page: [[Yearzero.nin.com]] Number: There is no known number for this page Background Text: There is no known [[Year_Zero_Banned_Media |Banned media]] for this page '''Discovery'''The link to the resources page eventually appeared on the Yearzero.nin.com page '''Content'''The page design contains two columns  #Press which is self explanatory#Experience which lists [[Open_Source_Resistance |Open Source Resistance]], [[ETS]], and—You guessed it—[[Main_Page |NINWiki]]! ===Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D===A ''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D]]'' section was added prior to its release and contains information regarding formats, extra wallpapers and a link to [[remix.nin.com]]. === Hidden Images ===The page uses an imagemap to conceal a great deal of hidden links which, when clicked on, display images presumably from the recording sessions for [[''Year Zero]]''.
There are links to 11 images: [http://yearzero.nin.com/img/03.html 03.jpeg],

== Background ==The following link was found, but is not linked from the main page:[http://yearzero.nin.com/img/86.html albumcover.jpg]. It appears to be the same as the image found at http://yearzero.nin.com/0024/.
As events happen relating to the world of Year Zero, certain sections of the background are revealed<gallery>Image:03. Speculation is far-spread about the actual content of the image, but nothing is yet certainjpgImage:07.jpgImage:10.jpgImage:12.jpgImage:14.jpgImage:19AR.jpgImage:22.jpgImage:25.jpgImage:Alanmoulder.jpgImage:31.jpgImage:39.jpg</gallery>
The only real indication that the background is linked to developments in the ARG is that a section next to "My Violent Heart" was revealed shortly before the MP3 was leaked==External Links==*[http://www.portraitofdecay.net/yearzero.nin.com/ yearzero.nin.com (Archived at Portrait of Decay)]
