...why was the domain bitcointalk.org registered in 2011? What domain was the forum hosted on during 2009-2011?

You have an internet connection and fingers and a brain. Use them to go to www.bitcoin.org and you'll see that it's now the official website of bitcoins. Which makes it obvious why the forum was moved tk this domain.

Bitcoin is open source, there is nothing official with bitcoin. The forum was moved off the bitcoin.org domain so that new people would not be confused an think there was anything official about this forum. We are just a bunch of people who like to talk about bitcoin, we do not represent anything official about bitcoin.

The domain must have been sold/donated to the guy(s) running the current bitcoin.org website.
