It may be worth mentioning that bitcointalk.org didn't exist at all when Satoshi was active.
Satoshi launched the bitcoin forum on the bitcoin.org domain and it was accessible at forum.bitcoin.org. Later, the forum was moved to bitcointalk.org.
It is true but there is more information about Bitcoin forum history which is like hidden information with many people especially new members.
Interesting information like forum name, domain name and admin changes with time with contributions from legends.
Bitcointalk's important historic changes.Thanks for sharing this thread, I didn't knew it.
So, actually it was first bitcoin.org/smf, then forum.bitcoin.org.
Very interesting, I really didn't know that.
Sharing the theymos quote:
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.
