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.

Don't know about it
The forum was created by satoshi. The domain is owned by Sirius, and managed by theymos.
I am not sure how theymos became administrator of the forum, however he is one of the very early users of bitcointalk.
I'm not sure of the particulars but I heard there was a sizable donation of coins to this forum for its operation to some extent. I am not sure how theymos became administrator of the forum, however he is one of the very early users of bitcointalk.
Sounds like a very interesting timeline tho. I'd like to hear Theymos' opinions of the Bitcoin market up to this point, not sure I've ever been graced with this person's presence. 
Would be like a mystery unfolding..Wow! kool
I see this still applies but seeing the price now , that's freaking huge
Anyways what do you mean by
(which is now free curtsy of Private Internet Access)
Are they providing free VPN to bitcointalk
Oh! that's interesting
Are they interested in bitcoin or they have certain terms with Theymos ?
Why free??

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/satoshi-is-made-bitcointalk-881877
That he heard it first on 4chan
Would really be awesome if he can write how it all happened, how he became a admin
Would be like a legend , from a simple man to the admin of Bitcointalk

He handed it off to Theymos quite quickly though.

Check this thread, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/satoshi-is-made-bitcointalk-881877. If I'm not wrong, it is Sirius and theymos.
Cool!
Thank you

This forum was created by Satoshi and Sirius. I didn't know about Bitcoin at the time.
So it was satoshi afterall

As we use this forum and see it!
Theymos is our awesome admin
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/theymos-35
But i always thought that Theymos created the forum and continued to develop it so well!
Seeing this thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/welcome-to-the-new-bitcoin-forum-5
Satoshi welcome's everyone to new forum , dumping up the old one .
My question is who exactly created the forum
I always thought it was Theymos , but it seems Satoshi was original creator of this forum.
Then how did Theymos got his admin post , did satoshi appoint him as being one of the early adopter's ?
PS : that is the first post for General people though there were 4 more theads for testing by satoshi
https://bitcointalk.org/first_topics/
Thanks to theymos for providing this to us .
It got some really awesome and great things
