The bottom one (in the .Net category) just links to the other one. I think Brad did this incase someone went looking for the .Net forum in either place, they'd find it.
The bottom forum is a redirect to the top one.
A decision was made to have VB.Net towards the top to stop people asking VB.Net question in the GenVB forum.
But a decision was also made to have a redirect left where the old forum was so that people who used it a lot wouldn't be left wondering where the forum had gone to.
For some reason the forum started to fill up with threads - I believe perhaps the redirect was temporarily off.
I did a mass move of threads from the redirect forum into the proper forum, and the redirect would appear to be functioning again!

Pah! You couldn't redirect if your life depended upon it.
