but how did theymos got hold of it when he didn't knew of bitcoin at that moment???
theymos came to know about Bitcoin when he found a person complaining on 4chan about "how long it takes to download the Blockchain?", IIRC.
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.
Thank you, theymos! I read you have met some people from this forum, so have you met Sirius?
Features like search box, start a new thread , trust system , etc all invent by theymos himself or there are another group that handle this ?
It was obviously theymos' idea but others have contributed to it.
