Topic: Forum moved to bitcointalk.org - page 2. (Read 6355 times)
Can someone explain to me why exactly this move was made, what will happen with the old domain, who owns the new domain, and has anything changed in the administration of this forum ?

I'm glad I found this thread. I was freaking out at first. I thought bitcointalk.org was trying to steal my password.
it is better to have too sensitive spidey phishing sense than too dull. Appears they freaked a lot of people out, dont they know we have a higher than normal average of techies here and we all have a very healthy sense of paranoia.
Let's see how Google reacts :-)
If the redirect is a 301(which i bet it is) it will keep all the ratings... No mistery.

very smooth operation, i like the one word domain name. what a pleasant surprise! no interuption during the transfer, great
Now that the forum is hosted on bitcointalk.org, it stands to reason that there is slightly more freedom in operation. That said, would it be possible to convince you to install an openID server (or some kind of simple verification) to allow forum accounts to be logged into securely to other services like the UABB?
+1 This would be great.
@theymos can you please set-up an auto-redirect to the https site...

At the request of Sirius, who owns bitcoin.org and the server this forum is hosted on, I have moved forum.bitcoin.org to bitcointalk.org. This is the final result of a long email discussion among many developers, exchange operators, etc. I have always been opposed to the move, but Sirius wanted to act according to consensus.
The forum was the only thing on bitcoin.org except for a few static pages, so I don't feel like we've lost too much by separating from it.
All of the old forum links should still be working correctly except www.bitcoin.org links, which are out of my control. Additionally, I fixed some other URL-related issues. If you see any problems, contact me.
Because the old wiki is hosted on this server, its new location is http://bitcointalk.org/wiki .
