This answer doesn't make sense. You need to control thedonaldDOTwin to make it point to patriots.win. if you don't control thedonaldDOTwin, how was that accomplished? This has nothing to do with dns
It makes perfect sense if you have the technical knowledge how DNS and web services work. There is a difference between a server and a domain.
A web server is a computer that runs the website and where all the data are stored. The server is accessed using it's IP address. Mod team has a full control over their web servers.
A **domain **is just an easy to remember textual label that is pointed to a server IP address. The translation is done by contacting a DNS server. Key thing to note is that there are multiple DNS servers all around the world. Your PC contacts the closest one to you (ideally). Any change of domains needs to be communicated between DNS servers. This is what they meant by propagation. So the guy changed where "thedonaldDOTwin" points to, but it is still not in effect everywhere because the change needs to propagate between the DNS servers.
DNS takes a while to propagate everywhere. It's explained in another sticky.
