Default overclock.net or overclocking.net?

Well, which is it? The URL is overclock.net, but page-name bar in firefox it says "overclock.net - overclocking.net". Also, I have seen many people on the CS:S server put the "clan" tag as [ocing.net]. I have always said "overclock.net", but is that right?

So, www.overclock.net and www.overclocking.net take you to the same place? If overclock.net is the right name, then why do so many people say overclocking.net?

It all means the same thing but the site name is Overclock.net other people might be confused because that is what they typed into the url the first time they came here or something of that nature.

Admin probably purchased overclocking.net from an existing owner, and wanted to make sure that people cominng to overclocking.net knew they were in the right place. Just a guess.

EDIT: Holy-Repeating Batman....

Exactly Actually, Overclock.net, Overclocking.net & Overclocked.net were all owned by the same person at one point. Then they expired and were purchased buy others the second they were able to be re-registered. Then we had the enjoyable task of buying them all back from different owners :/

Ocing.net, Ocing.com, Cooling.net, CaseMods.net etc... they all point here (or point to a specific section).
