the domain name is in the possession of Sirius (Martti Malmi)
but it was founded by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 and if i am not mistaken it was hosted on sourceforge(?) and then moved to this current state you are seeing back in the days. and Theymos is the Administrator of it.
all the information is available with a simple google search Smiley

Is it the bitcoin foundation?

forum was founded by Satoshi and Sirius , Satoshi left as we all know , Sirius is a staff member but not that active (he controls bitcoin.org domain too I guess), forum is now controlled by theymos ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/satoshi-35) as you can see from his UID (35)  he was one of the first members and there is also BadBear which is an administrator as well. and no , Bitcoin foundation have no control over the forums.

If I remember all of this correctly this forum is owned/run by a person named Theymos, or at least it is now, and it was started basically back during Bitcoin's inception. I could be wrong but that is the only name sticking out to me, and I am sure he is at least a decently high-up staff member.
