Nintourarchive

Like a simpler phoenix from the ashes I present the new nintourarchive for all your nintourarchiving needs.

Comments are welcome

to submit photos add them to the main pool of the flickr group

Thanks for your three years of patience! Oh and thank goodness for flickr.

So far I'm looking at adding names and dates to the main site as well as improving navigation of photos as well as making it look a little prettier but the bare bones are there for you to enjoy and browse at your leisure.

PLEASE NOTE: Shitty photos are welcome - your shitty illustrations, reworking of nin logos and crappy graphic designs will not be tolerated, they will be torn to shreds and chucked in the bin. I am not using this as part of my portfolio and certainly won't be allowing anyone else to do the same. Have a nice day :)

Updated with 235 tour photos - please click the enlarged pics to view details.

What exactly is the purpose of this site?
Is it basically a collection of NIN concert photos displayed in a slideshow?

No negative criticism here, I appreciate the effort you put into this!
"NIN tour archive" just made me expect something like an archive of info/photos/reviews organized by show or something like that. That's why I'm asking.

it's completely from the fan's perspective - as far as i'm aware that was always the intention of the site - fan photos and reflections.

It's not that complex really, it was initially set up as a hub for fans to dump their photos, relive moments they enjoyed on tour as well as experience and share the tour through other fans perspectives.

I started with the idea of making a site that included fan reviews and setlists etc but there is already a pretty stable facility for that here on ETS and on The Spiral as well as The NINhotline and as I'm pretty much doing this on my own it would be futile to even attempt to emulate what is already a pretty successful venture elsewhere. Although Flickr allows for moderated discussion so if that is what floats your boat feel free to comment there.

This time I'm not concerned with any big picture or goals for this site I just want it to be simply as is. As it is backed up by a Flickr group all photos submitted can be tagged, are searchable and there is a facility to add your favourites through the app I am using on the main site so that you don't lose track of that special picture of old Reznor chops. As Icklekitty says, it's entirely user content generated and therefore quite anarchic and somewhat organic in the way it could develop. I'm just happy I have something to show after three years of false starts.

However like I said, let me know what you'd like to see on the main page and I'll see if I can be bothered to add it :p

I'd like to know how it was mistaken for the arg.

Cuz of things like this

can't be bothered to find the craziness that went on on the boards and elsewhere on the interwebs. It was highly amusing at first but ended up raping my bandwidth to death. My fault for including too much graphics and a massive PDF poster.

Thanks go out to everyone who has helped make this the most successful version of the tour archive yet!

A reminder though, 2008 tour pics are needed and anyone who has any feel free to add them to the archive group. Cheers everyone and enjoy the rest of the tour!

edit

Great pics coming in of the 08 shows so far! Thanks again. Keep posting!
