Congrats Theymos

[DPHOR]

I am actually pleased to see that theymos has been here for the past 16 years, this is equivalent to our last child who is in level 100 now in the University. I wouldn't mind call him theymos, knowing too well that same year you created your username is the year he was given birth.

Congratulation.

I think we can be using topic to celebrate forum birthday, anyone who want post about their year of registration can easily do that here instead of being so individualistic.

Thanks! My forum-self is old enough to drive now, I guess.

16 years is a long time, incredible really. I’ve been here since 2014 but I think anybody pre 2013 is a Gold Standard OG. Congrats on the milestone, theymos. Here’s to many more years at the wheel of bitcointalk.

theymos registered the account on February 09, 2010 and 16 years is a time since his account registration while it took him a little months for becoming a forum admin first, and later become a forum head admin.

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.

It's surprising how well-documented history can become totally forgotten... Satoshi created the forum on Nov 22, 2009, and was head administrator until almost 2011. Then Sirius was head administrator until 2012, which is when I took over.

- I was made a forum admin in 2011, after Satoshi left. (Silk Road also appeared after Satoshi left.)

Wow, 16 years is quite a long time 
Congrats Theymos

Keeping the forum running all this time, with so many users and still relevant, is a very difficult task
We can only be grateful for the incredible opportunity to be part of this forum

Of course, it's never an easy task, and we should be very grateful.

I came to this forum 2 years ago, and his name is everywhere, for his good deeds and strength and leadership. People only celebrate good people, and that's why everyone is here..

Congratulations Theymos

I also join other members in wishing you many more years of stay together on this forum, your management of this unique platform has been one of the most relevant aspect of your achievements because it is not easy to moderate and regulate the forum to this extent without having things getting more complicated in some cases, but your resilience and determination for excellence always supersede every challenges you encounter, happy 16 years on the forum and congratulations to you.

We should be thankful to God because they haven’t celebrated the day he first tied his own shoes yet...

At least for now your forum self  cant drive a real car. But he is driving the forum.

Nice play on words!

Congrats theymos on steering this forum real good.

Even as that he won't still be driving in your country as he doesn't based there. Maybe his country permits driving at 16.

Anyway, congratulations to him and 16 years is quite something big on the forum. More grace and enablement to lead the community.

[PX-Z]

16 years in the forum and counting... I can only say congratulations because not everyone who joined this forum then and earlier are still alive today.

Not when you joined this place at a young age (i guess theymos was in his mid 20s when he got here, from what i've read somewhere) and eventually became an admin. That's quite a feat.

Congrats on 16 years in the forum, just one year younger than the forum itself

Theymos will be from the United States, his account age is legal to drive in many states in the United States. But the maturity for driving fully developed at 25 years of age when the brain parts responsible for driving is fully developed.

In some countries, legal driving age is 18.

Respect for you.....?

I never saw one word or one message from you "Tired" of driving, 16 years you have changed human civilization from traditional to digital, understanding Bitcoin as a digital currency.

16 years have passed, it's not a short and easy time to guide with a million different characters, different cultures, different ways of thinking, you have done it perfectly, you are like a super hero for planet earth, congratulations to you @theymos, may your life be blessed.
