Who created this forum???

[koelen3]

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

Features like search box, start a new thread , trust system , etc all invent by theymos himself or there are another group that handle this ?

[Muhammed Zakir]

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.

Thank you, theymos! I read you have met some people from this forum, so have you met Sirius?

It was obviously theymos' idea but others have contributed to it.

No doubts over that

[runningfree]

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.

You said it !
Theymos stayed and see where he is now .
Just be patient and keep giving you best , our Admin is a ideal for that

[cryptopaths]

Why don't any of the other admins come back?

[Muhammed Zakir]

Why don't any of the other admins come back?

Satoshi = I think gone forever.
Sirius = Probably busy with his life but he may come back but probably not as Admin.

So I was right about the bitcoin.org domain!

[Karartma1]

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.

Amazing Story... So you believed in the power of the BITCOIN, and now you are here... 
 
But look at it now, you are the HEAD ADMIN . just great

could be an account with satoshi name used by some people, and satoshi is in fact not one person but a group of people. do not matter who made this forum. but the most important is how to keep this forum in order to remain there

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.

I do agree with you, Satoshi wasn't/isn't a group but a single person , as Hal Finney said in his thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0

He says , Today, Satoshi's true identity has become a mystery. 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.

Actually as i think it was finally seperated to Bitcointalk.org in november 2009 ,he was pretty fast with the work and all
