Hi,

Thanks.

The forum runs on a free open source software as far as i know. It has some customizations which may also be open source or perhaps some "new code" has been created.
The basic platform is easy to find on google though. Good luck creating a active forum, very very hard.

For the OP, the basic platform is SMF Boards

Dunno but they do not look like custom to me, maybe you should go to http://www.simplemachines.org/ and check out any demos and customizations, the coin icons might come in a download pack. You could just draw new coin icons and add the image files if not.

If admins don't respond, I'd advise you to use them until one of them tell you to stop They look pretty random after all...

I'm sure I read somewhere recently that theymos created them. If he did, I'm sure he would let you use them, but to get an answer to your question you will need to PM him.

By default, anything created by anyone is their property. They mostly won't chase you down if you are a small forums, but if you have aspirations, you NEED to make sure you have the right to use everything. This user has made some awesome looking coins.If I was you, I'd ask him to simply make the same thing with your altcoin image, or ask permission to use his. They look really nice and I'm sure it is simple enough for him to not turn it down if you offer a small fee. (0.05-0.2 BTC)

No longer active on bitcointalk, however, you can still reach me via PMs if needed.

This is off topic and isn't the place to try recruit staff. I'm sure I read somewhere recently that theymos created them. If he did, I'm sure he would let you use them, but to get an answer to your question you will need to PM him.
i remember it was satoshi Best try contact Satoshi then .

it appears that the coins are a downscaled version of this picture: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/File:Bitcoin.png, which is under the public domain. If you really want to avoid copyright issue,s downscale the images yourself instead of copying them.

But it has a B in it and it's for an Altcoin the ones on Bitcointalk don't have a B.

The BTCtalk ones use plain old gold coins, without any BTC symbol.

You shouldn't instantly dismiss any possibility of the BTC symbol having been removed, for instance.
