==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.
==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.

==The Unofficial Nine Inch Nails Homepage==
Jason Patterson launched the Unofficial Nine Inch Nails Homepage at the nothing.nin.net domain in 1994. 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 easy to remember URL and reliable hosting, it quickly became the most popular NIN fansite on the nascent World Wide Web. It went through three major site designs: a Downward Spiral theme when it launched, a Further Down the Spiral theme in 1995, and the final design, a Perfect Drug theme in 1997. 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 through 1998.
