THE NINETYNINE HOTLINE


6/29/99
Xott visits the mIRC DALnet channel #nin99 (where all the information for this page is discovered and compiled), but his IP address is traced back to nothingstudios.com. this person, whoever he/she was, was obviously not the Xott we all know...

6/30/99
While making observations about the nin.com lyrics, an umfamiliar face appears in the #nin99 DALnet channel. a member of the channel discovers a directory at www.nin.com/fragile. unlike all other directories at nin.com, this one is not forbidden. upon observation it contained 3 zip files which contained .aiff files. these files turned out to be noise samples not heard anywhere before. after talking about this in the #nin99 channel, the previously mentioned unfamiliar face disappeared. his name was ninheae and when he returned it was ninhed. upon tracing his IP, we found that it led straight back to nothingstudios.com. when we all went back to www.nin.com/fragile, the files were gone. ninhed disappeared soon after.
