RWRN started out as a community oriented presentation, offering various contributors space to present their pictures and stories. It was a place many could call home. It was a webspace that was virtually neutral, offering material regardless of quality and origin. RWRN encouraged participation by it's readers. RWRN offered many pictures, clips, .wav sound files and stories in it's infancy. As time progressed, we added the links pages, chat rooms, and message boards. Ever since day one - we've looked at the big picture and tried to encourage participaton and inviting ideas from all corners of the globe. While we have never been considered one of the top sites available to nail passionate people, we have strived to remain active, up to date, and available to all.

In 1997 we started as RWRN. Within a year we changed our name to Nailbytes and secured our first domain. In 2001 we were faced with personal financial challenges and scrambled to stay alive, ultimately changing our domain presence to Nailbytes1.com. And today we remain on line, updating frequently by providing the nailcentric population a starting point, hopefully providing these people a place they can call home.

Our archive spans almost 15 years of contributions from people all around the world. The collection will never be a complete one. While the number of pictures, clips, stories and links will eventually be a finite number - it is also evident that the story in itself is infinite.

Many thanks to the hundreds (thousands?) of contributors that joined in and injected life into this community for the better part of the last 15 years.
