What did theymos do with 200K?

[funtotry]

So, theymos is kind of a multi millionaire huh.

Well its not his money, its the "forums" money which we donated. We didn't pay all this money for the development of theymos, we did for the development of the forum. So this money should only be spent on the forum.

That's bullshit. The donations were made during a time when mining was easy and 50 coins was nothing. I donated a few myself but not enough to get the special perks of donator/VIP. That's why people donated BTW. They wanted to help the forum survive and get the perks of donator status. Back then it would have taken 50 coins just to pay for hosting. When I donated the exchange rate was $2-5. I think it's stupid to overpay for forum software. I would much prefer theymos blow it on hookers and beer or have a huge party and invite everyone. 

Me too, I don't like spending that much on forum software, better to safe it, no reason to spend it all, but the coins as of now are worth much more then they did when you donated obviously.

Save it for what? I'm curious as to whether Bitcointalk will collect any BTC for anything once the new forum is done. Its just a forum, what else is money needed for?

I really want a party, where are those thousands bitcoin (or more?). Otherwise we are waiting the new forum I think it will be awesome! Stay tuned.

Pretty sure a party would be out of the question. Too much issue with organizing it, where to have it, etc. Also people that donated under the pretenses of getting new forum software probably wouldn't be thrilled.

Theymos could have thrown himself a party, but that probably wouldn't have gone over well.

AFAIK, Charlie has a great club at LA. We can all party there

Yea it definitely would. Also when you donate it says that donations will be used for forum software, not personal expenses or anything like that. If theymos goes and throws himself a party or for some trusted users here, most of us would be pretty mad that the funds were misused.

 After the software is done and we start using the slickage forum software. Will there be more donations and ads? If so , where will that be spent?

Hopefully keeping the software up to date against hackers.

With 1.5 million we could spend a staggering 3 dollars for each user, buy everyone a cheap beer on this forum.
How bout lets have a vote 3 dollars in btc each or new forum 
Jokes aside, looking forward to the new forum

[sdp]

If you put it that way, three dollars for each person.  That's not bad.  In SMF, if you post in one thread and all of the new posts on that thread are counted as replies to you.  Normally these posts are not.  It would be a nice thing if the software could tell the difference.  I hope Theymos has a taken ideas from Meta.  It is a mine of feature requests.

Don't do it per user, there'd be plenty of idiots getting 700 beers delivered.

[ndnh]

Yeah, 1.5 million dollar forum is really cool.
It is really a great thing to look forward to.

Theymos did the right thing of course (after reading first few replies). I suppose the funds can't be used for anything else than developing the forum.

No doubt. There's only about 1000 flesh & blood members and 470k alts.

I asked about that last night, any additional funds collected will be used for supporting Bitcoin development, saved as part of an emergency fund, etc.

[--Encrypted--]

it said in the donate page that "all profit is reinvested into the forum and the community".. thought I suspect that Theymos must have took a BTC or two for himself. (sorry, dude  )

[NumismaCorporation]

 But if the collection is strictly for the software development , anything leftover or collected afterwards needs to have right of the donators . The ones that was leftover from the software must be asked and the ones that will be collected afterwards must state it will not be for software development , it will be for whatever reason and people as always should trust theymos and you guys. Otherwise , you could simply not spend 1.5 million dollars on a single forum software and save it for charitable stuff under bitcoin and bitcointalk name which is a great marketing because you are getting the name out there AND helping people.

Are you accusing theymos of receiving a kickback or two?

Careful, dude, or you'll lose your glittery signature ad.

Slickage = unknown startup which doesn't even have a website on its own. 4 developers, $375k per year per developer.

Well played

So, theymos is kind of a multi millionaire huh.

^^^ The first quote says it all.

Sorry, but it just doesn't make sense.....
