Doom9.net is just a different (additional) domain name pointing to the
exactly same IP address (server) as the Doom9.org domain:
Code:
C:\Users\MuldeR>nslookup forum.doom9.org
Server: localhost
Address: ::1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: forum.doom9.org
Address: 213.112.23.103
Code:
C:\Users\MuldeR>nslookup forum.doom9.net
Server: localhost
Address: ::1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: forum.doom9.org
Address: 213.112.23.103
Aliases: forum.doom9.net
The reason why you were
not "logged in" is because once you are successfully logged in to the forum, a session cookie is put into your browser. From then on, your browser sends this session cookie along with each and every request, so that the forum servers knows who you are and that you already are logged in. But, of course, the cookie is only sent with requests that go to the
same site that originally created the cookie.
From your web-browser's point of view, "forum.doom9.org" and "forum.doom9.net" are two
distinct sites. So, the session cookie created by "forum.doom9.org" will
not be sent to "forum.doom9.net", and vice versa...
