Title: Who created this forum??? Post by: koelen3 on February 28, 2015, 05:04:39 AM As we use this forum and see it!
Theymos is our awesome admin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35 But i always thought that Theymos created the forum and continued to develop it so well! Seeing this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.0 Satoshi welcome's everyone to new forum , dumping up the old one . My question is who exactly created the forum ??? I always thought it was Theymos , but it seems Satoshi was original creator of this forum. Then how did Theymos got his admin post , did satoshi appoint him as being one of the early adopter's ? PS : that is the first post for General people though there were 4 more theads for testing by satoshi https://bitcointalk.org/first_topics/ Thanks to theymos for providing this to us . It got some really awesome and great things :D Title: Re: Who created this forum??? Post by: MineForeman.com on February 28, 2015, 05:09:07 AM Satoshi did.
He handed it off to Theymos quite quickly though. Title: Re: Who created this forum??? Post by: jacktheking on February 28, 2015, 05:09:15 AM Check this thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881877.0. If I'm not wrong, it is Sirius and theymos.
Title: Re: Who created this forum??? Post by: Quickseller on February 28, 2015, 05:10:25 AM The forum was created by satoshi. The domain is owned by Sirius, and managed by theymos.
I am not sure how theymos became administrator of the forum, however he is one of the very early users of bitcointalk. Title: Re: Who created this forum???

If I'm not wrong, it is Sirius and theymos. Cool! Thank you I got this This forum was created by Satoshi and Sirius. I didn't know about Bitcoin at the time. So it was satoshi afterall but how did theymos got hold of it when he didn't knew of bitcoin at that moment??? Title: Re: Who created this forum???

Okay i got profile to Sirius too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4 Seems he hasn't been online since oct 2014 . Two most Important people for bitcointalk Satoshi and Sirius i.e. Do anyone knows about Sirius ? Is he off to somewhere? Title: Re: Who created this forum??? Post by: Chef Ramsay on February 28, 2015, 05:16:26 AM The forum was created by satoshi. The domain is owned by Sirius, and managed by theymos. I'm not sure of the particulars but I heard there was a sizable donation of coins to this forum for its operation to some extent. :-X Sounds like a very interesting timeline tho. I'd like to hear Theymos' opinions of the Bitcoin market up to this point, not sure I've ever been graced with this person's presence. :) Would be like a mystery unfolding..I am not sure how theymos became administrator of the forum, however he is one of the very early users of bitcointalk.

As i am seeing it's really exciting to find this , Theymos says in his old posts as the link provided by JackthiKing https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=881877.0 That he heard it first on 4chan Would really be awesome if he can write how it all happened, how he became a admin Would be like a legend , from a simple man to the admin of Bitcointalk ::) Title: Re: Who created this forum???

Post by: theymos on February 28, 2015, 06:18:51 AM The story of how I became head admin is actually pretty boring. Moderators were needed, so I was made a global moderator. Then admins were needed, so I was made an admin. Then over time the other admins slowly lost interest and resigned until I was the only one left. I guess most of the people who were around here to see this have more-or-less left the community now. That's a bit sad.
It's not entirely clear, but for simplicity I usually say that I became head admin at the beginning of 2011, a little over a year after the forum was created. The forum was originally located at bitcoin.org/smf, then forum.bitcoin.org (hence the redirect), and finally bitcointalk.org. Fun fact: The name "bitcointalk" was invented by Jeff Garzik, and he's the one who bought the domain. Title: Re: Who created this forum???

But at the time, I thought I was dealing with a young man of Japanese ancestry who was very smart and sincere. I've had the good fortune to know many brilliant people over the course of my life, so I recognize the signs. Title: Re: Who created this forum???
