Why am I seeing two identical versions of Democratic Underground with different URLs? [View all]

This is the URL of the DU I have bookmarked and where I have had an account since 2009:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/index.php

But doing an unrelated google search just now, this URL popped up:

https://demu.gr/index.php

They both look the same, but where is this alt DU coming from?

I recall this being asked before. Yonnie3 Feb 2018 #3

See Skinner post linked below. New Democratic Underground URL shortener: DEMU.GR Yonnie3 Feb 2018 #4

OK, thanks, but is the URL really from Greece? nt procon Feb 2018 #7

It is issued by Greece I guess. Is that Important? Yonnie3 Feb 2018 #9

I've been seeing "upload.thiswebsite.com" and wondering what was up with that Afromania Feb 2018 #5

Googling dem.gr is in RU language. A construction site. Hmmm??? Wwcd Feb 2018 #6

It's just getting weirder and weirder... nt procon Feb 2018 #8

No, you are way off base Yonnie3 Feb 2018 #10

Ok. Maybe the language is in Greek not RU. I can't read either but Wwcd Feb 2018 #11

You're probably right, that its Greek, but it's just normal English for me. nt procon Feb 2018 #12

demu.gr is the site he asked about, not dem.gr Yonnie3 Feb 2018 #13

Noted. Thanks Wwcd Feb 2018 #14

yay, it was hard to tweet DU headlines before. Sunlei Feb 2018 #15
