nine inch nails 2016 speculation (fat lady singing edition)

[wizfan]

Still down for me, guys, I don't know what's happening. The black logo on white background thing worked fine for me just a few hours ago.

[Jon]

Isnt the logo a bit smaller now?
It's shrinking dudes!

Still the same facebook.jpg source (1200x630) set at a max width of 200px (200x105 logo).

[chuenthez]

Did somebody follow the teasing by Radiohead before their new album ? There were things like this: opacity of an image was decreasing periodically on their website, leading finally to the video of the new song. Will it be the same for NIN ? (I hope not...)

[FRDU]

I'm sure that when Europe goes to sleep and it's evening in California a new nin release will be unleashed and I'll be asleep and is awaken to 50 pages of discussion about it and I'm gonna feel left out. Just saying...

Same for me, it's down everywhere right now (comp, phone, tablet).

I woke up three times in the middle of the night last night to check here and refresh the website.

[niggo]

Same for me, it's down everywhere right now (comp, phone, tablet).

Well ... now http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com says the same: "It's not just you! http://www.nin.com looks down from here."

[FRDU]

Now it's up again!

[Xvostya]

"It's just you. http://nin.com is up."

[witte]

i don't understand. for me nin.com was up all the time.... (??)

[chuenthez]

It was down for a short time. I guess time to update things "behind"

[niggo]

Yeah, for me it's up again, too. What the hell is going on? Is the logo even smaller now? My mind is going crazy!

[Xvostya]

It was down for a short time. I guess time to update things "behind"

My script is checking it for updates every 30 seconds, and it wasn't down in any of that timespans at all.

[ChipRock]

And after all that...

On purpose trolling? Or maybe something might still happen 'soon'?

[Xvostya]

That's equally awesome and depressing. "ping, nope. Ping, nope. Ping, nope. Ping, nope..."

I can remove that keep-alive line at all, but wouldn't it be even more depressing with silence?

[Vrolok1]

I just can say:

Followed it very closely. That what I first thought of yesterday. For those thinking that the logo is shrinking, my page monitor has not detected any change.

[SchwarzerAbt]

They decided it's not worth it having a special website anymore. Soon when you click on the logo it will redirect to the band's facebook page.


And that's it! :P

Does this mean every time somebody updates their website before a new release it will be considered 'pulling a radiohead' because that will be a pain in the arse, who doesn't update their website before a new release?

[chuenthez]

update the website, sure, but teasing by not showing anything is something different. If they wanted to update the website, they would have modified it offline, then turn it on...

I'm sure plenty of bands have done that before radiohead including Trent (someone mentioned a bleedthrough updated nin pixel thing), the same as billy corgan had released a pay what you want album before radiohead. It just annoys me that once they do something it's considered the first time even if it isnt

Radiohead didn't just merely update their website though; they had pretty much scrubbed their entire social media presence for a few days before putting up the Burn the Witch video. Replacing nin.com with a single logo is close but this isn't really the same thing as what they did.

Usually - scripts replacing.

I am not saying that Radiohead were the first, it is the fact of talking about the logo shrinking little by little (not a reference) - even though it turned out it wasn't true - reminded me about the change of opacity on Dead Air Space. Just this.

[Mantra]

the same as billy corgan had released a pay what you want album before radiohead.

Really, he did? Which one? If you're talking about Machina 2, that was just leaked onto the net for free. I don't recall any pay wha tyou want album, unless I'm totally blanking out here.

It's all like it was before now, so nvm

That was probably it. It was before anyone had done anything of the sort though and he got no credit really
