Who hosts Bitcoin Talk?

[jormo]

Bitcoin Talk was founded by Satoshi but he stopped posting after December 13, 2010. Theymos is the owner now but who hosts Bitcoin Talk? Does Satoshi still run the hosting or does Theymos host it? If Theymos doesn't does he still have access to the server?

Yuph, he's/she's/they're pretty busy right now for sure, doing some stuff to improve bitcoin? No one really knows what Satoshi's doing.

I think it's Sir theymos who hosts Bitcointalk. And yes, theymos has access to server.
Why do you ask anyway?

[Lutpin]

As head admin, theymos is in charge of hosting.
As owner, usually sirius is cited, as he controls the domain bitcointalk.org

Edit: Seems my information is outdated:

It is owned by Cobra.

Bitcointalk.org:
 - Cobra has ultimate control over the domain name. [theymos has] access to the domain name settings.
 - [theymos runs] the server. Cobra has no access to the database or server.

The reason I ask because I am just curious. I was wondering if maybe Satoshi was still working on bitcoin talk and hosting it and stuff but was silent while doing so.

I understand now though.

Theymos pay the bills. He receives money from the ads on the forum and from donations. Cyrus is the responsible for the domain name and is also an admin. The other administrators are grue, hilariousandco, mprep, rickbig41,Saltspitoon,  

The forum sells ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page. This income is used primarily to cover hosting costs and to pay moderators for their work (there are many moderators, so each moderator gets only a small amount -- moderators should be seen as volunteers, not employees). Any leftover amount is typically either saved for future expenses or otherwise reinvested into the forum or the ecosystem.

Nobody knows what Satoshi is doing right now. And this is great =)

Sirius != Cyrus

The other administrators are grue, hilariousandco, mprep, rickbig41, Saltspitoon

(global) moderators, not administrators.

I did not know. When we report a PM appears the option to send to the "admin team of the forum".
Are there levels of hierarchy among those I mentioned? How many of them are admin? Only Theymos and Cyrus?

And I thought Sirius (Martti Malmi‎) have given up from the domain ownership.

You are wrong here in saying Sirius control the domain bitcointalk.org.

It is owned by Cobra.

Below are the words of the theymos:

Bitcoin.org:
 - Cobra has ultimate control over the domain name. I have access to the domain name settings.
 - Cobra runs the server.
 - Will Binns holds the BTC.

Bitcointalk.org:
 - Cobra has ultimate control over the domain name. I have access to the domain name settings.
 - I run the server. Cobra has no access to the database or server.
 - The BTC is held by myself and the treasurers. Cobra has no access.

I've adjusted my post, I was searching for updated information on the domain situation, but couldn't find any, thus I went with Sirius.
Regardless, the answer to the question asked by OP stays the same, theymos controls the server and hosting.

I was looking for this coz my memory was saying, theymos had a reply in one of the topic. Well-done Crypto_Sassy

Bitcoin.org:
 - Cobra has ultimate control over the domain name. I have access to the domain name settings.
 - Cobra runs the server.
 - Will Binns holds the BTC.

Bitcointalk.org:
 - Cobra has ultimate control over the domain name. I have access to the domain name settings.
 - I run the server. Cobra has no access to the database or server.
 - The BTC is held by myself and the treasurers. Cobra has no access.

Community here is really strong , People here able to spot and spread information for free. While specialized site like Icobench are giving ratings to that project.

What is the reason for asking such a question. Anyway, I think as an admin Theymos  might have access of the hosting. Also it is not mandatory to host as it can be paid from the payment method which was given while signed the host payment method.

Seriously praying somebody trashes this thread

Bruh even aTriz knows that:

..the most advanced thing I know regarding code is "!" means no in code.

Especially after this whole mishap: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3038096.msg31887541#msg31887541
Anyone notice the post quality change in aTriz's recent posts?

Where as in, which country? If yes, its probably United States(?).

Anyone notice the post quality change in aTriz's recent posts?

He sold his account or what? Why anyone would buy account with -54: -6 / +10 trust score?
Sorry for offtopic.

Previously the forum was hosted on sourceforge http://bitcoin.sourceforge.net/boards/index.php which is no longer reachable.
Founded by Satoshi Nakamoto. The domain name was owned by Sirius but is now controlled by Cøbra. The forum is administrated by theymos .

Bitcointalk history of hacks and vandalism.
