Now, if you can answer these questions, then I can agree with your opinion.
1. Is there a chance Theymos saw the contents of thread 3?
Internal settings of the forum.2. Sirius or did Satoshi remove this thread? I ask because I see Theymos's account was registered two months after the forum was created.
3. I would like to know if there is a way to see which of the users posted messages in thread number 3?
1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).
I
previously answered your questions, and the answers are unlikely to have changed in the preceding 9 months.
I think most likely, thread 2 had content that is similar to thread 3, and satoshi was testing the functionality regarding deleting threads (and possibly posts). He may have made one or more modifications to SMF after deleting the thread.
I am not sure as to where any of threads 1, 2, or 4 were located, or which users were able to view that sub at the time were.
If there were restrictive permissions on thread 3, it is unlikely that anyone except satoshi ever saw that thread. If thread 3 was ever public, it is possible that google or another search engine indexed it, however I think that is very unlikely because satoshi made the
first public post over two and a half days later.
I can say with a high degree of confidence that there were no replies to thread 3, and anyone looking closely will agree with this statement. This assumes that anything having to do with thread3 was done prior to satoshi's first post.
Anyway, I think it is most likely that you are a very old forum member. My guess is you have been involved in the forum for the greater part of a decade, if not longer.
