I'm really sad to hear this. It seems like bitcoin faces such tremendous headwinds.

Surely, I do not understand enough to understand the significance of your comments.

Do you believe that theymos and Cøbra should have attempted to maintain a connection between the sites or the operations?

theymos does seem to be representing it as NOT a big change, but it is likely with anything that sometimes material changes will come later or be felt later if some kind of dynamics are changed including each of their having official connections versus separate operations.

Under user's avatar, there is: News: Latest Bitcoin Core Release: <-- Will download url be changed with bitcointalk.org instead of bitcoin.org ?
I think this domain related update must be on top of website for a while to inform all users.
What you did is a little bit perplexing for users: Which website should I trust to download bitcoin core, Bitcointalk Or Bitcoin.org ?
I ask this because you even said (what if won't be? What further actions will be taken from you?):

I'd assume that the same will be true of bitcoin.org.

Ahh, I thought I would make an offer...

You're all wasting your time asking theymos. As owner he can do what he wants with the forum. As I've found out before, you can ask a question in one of these missives and he just won't answer. He's made a decision and you may as well respect it as he doesn't usually clarify. (Look at his activity over the last.year or so)

He does respond mate. Thou he doesn't do that for all queries, but he tries so it should deter members from asking for clarifications. Even Presidents don't answer all questions during press conferences Cheesy

This is a good thing.
I hope that now we can expect to see long awaited update for bitcointalk theme and forum software.
I would like to see that ~~before I die~~ if possible ...

Surely every active member would like to see the same but this small change won't change a thing about the current progress Cheesy

No I meant more if it's possible to have a co-ownership here? Maybe Theymos, OG and hilarious or something - since there was a co-ownership in the past. (or theymos and cyrus)

If there was co-ownership it would be on the post or added, the message was to inform us about the separation of Bitcoin.org domain and Bitcointalk.org domain.
And the forum would still remain the same

There will be no changes whatsoever on bitcointalk.org due to this, and I'd assume that the same will be true of bitcoin.org.

To clairfy is there a co-ownership of both domains still or is one just owned by a single entity from now on?

Theymos owns bitcointalk.org, Cobra owns bitcoin.org, neither of them(theymos and cobra)has access to the domain name owned by the other.

If the co ownership was merely so that each could add different functionalities then this is unneccesary but if it was to protect the integrity of the domain and allow for it to be inherited wherever neccessary.

<...Therefore, we decided to separate the domains: I no longer have any access to the bitcoin.org domain name, and Cøbra no longer has any access to the bitcointalk.org domain name. The two sites should be viewed as totally separate, which in practice they have been for years.

I know Cobra was holding both domains in the past, has bitcointalk.org just been transferred to you and that's it or is it controlled by an additional pool of people?

Satoshi created both bitcoin.org and this forum, which was originally at bitcoin.org/smf. Later, the forum got its own domain name, but due to this history, bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org have traditionally been linked, and for quite some time Cøbra and I have together managed the domain names. However, Cøbra has never had much involvement in bitcointalk.org's operation, and I haven't involved myself in bitcoin.org for a couple of years, so the linkage between the two no longer really made made any sense. Therefore, we decided to separate the domains: I no longer have any access to the bitcoin.org domain name, and Cøbra no longer has any access to the bitcointalk.org domain name. The two sites should be viewed as totally separate, which in practice they have been for years.

There will be no changes whatsoever on bitcointalk.org due to this, and I'd assume that the same will be true of bitcoin.org. The bitcoin.org open-source project has been advancing steadily, and I hope and expect that it will continue to do so thanks to the efforts of its contributors.

Thanks to Cøbra for handling much of bitcointalk.org's domain-name-related work in the past.
