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.
Wow! it's an honour that you replied It's not at all boring , am sure those who left ,must be really repenting it now. So, orginally Jeff bought the domain not Sirius Thank you for clarifying so much here ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

but how did theymos got hold of it when he didn't knew of bitcoin at that moment???
theymos came to know about Bitcoin when he found a person complaining on 4chan about "how long it takes to download the Blockchain?", IIRC. 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.

Thank you, theymos! I read you have met some people from this forum, so have you met Sirius? Features like search box, start a new thread , trust system , etc all invent by theymos himself or there are another group that handle this ?
It was obviously theymos' idea but others have contributed to it. -MZ

I think there is lesson in this thread somewhere. Something like "stay the course" or "win by attrition" .
This should be the overall motto for bitcoin.

So I was right about the bitcoin.org domain! Yeap you were right. First satoshi created this forum as a folder under bitcoin.org/smf/ in December 2009 Then it was located to subdomain forum.bitcoin.org in May 2011 Finally it was completely seperated from bitcoin.org in September 2011. Ps: Those dates are decided according to web.archive.org archives.

I don't think Satoshi is a few people but there is a chance. If he is a few people, then he writing language will be different but there wasn't any claimings it was different though there was a claiming his English is so fluent and great. -MZ

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.
