Anyone notice the post quality change in aTriz's recent posts?
He sold his account or what? 
Why anyone would buy account with -54: -6 / +10 trust score?Sorry for offtopic.
Cyrus is the responsible for the domain name and is also an admin.
Sirius != CyrusAre you sure about this?
Sirius (Martti Malmi) is from Finland while Cyrus is for sure romanian.
Still, I'm wondering where bitcointalk might be hosted...
..the most advanced thing I know regarding code is "!" means no in code.
Especially after this whole mishap: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.31887541

Not confusing at all right?

Seriously praying somebody trashes this thread
Bitcoin Talk was founded by Satoshi but he stopped posting after December 13, 2010. Theymos is the owner now but who hosts Bitcoin Talk? Does Satoshi still run the hosting or does Theymos host it? If Theymos doesn't does he still have access to the server?
What is the reason for asking such a question. Anyway, I think as an admin Theymos might have access of the hosting. Also it is not mandatory to host as it can be paid from the payment method which was given while signed the host payment method. It is owned by Cobra.
I've adjusted my post, I was searching for updated information on the domain situation, but couldn't find any, thus I went with Sirius.Regardless, the answer to the question asked by OP stays the same, theymos controls the server and hosting.

Thanks Lutpin. Sig Removed.
Community here is really strong , People here able to spot and spread information for free. While specialized site like Icobench are giving ratings to that project.
I was looking for this coz my memory was saying, theymos had a reply in one of the topic. Well-done Crypto_Sassy

As head admin, theymos is in charge of hosting.
As owner, usually sirius is cited, as he controls the domain bitcointalk.org

You are wrong here in saying Sirius control the domain bitcointalk.org.
It is owned by Cobra.
Below are the words of the theymos:

Cyrus is the responsible for the domain name and is also an admin.
Sirius != CyrusThe other administrators are grue, hilariousandco, mprep, rickbig41, Saltspitoon
(global) moderators, not administrators.I did not know. When we report a PM appears the option to send to the "admin team of the forum".
Are there levels of hierarchy among those I mentioned? How many of them are admin? Only Theymos and Cyrus?
And I thought Sirius (Martti Malmi) have given up from the domain ownership.

Yuph, he's/she's/they're pretty busy right now for sure, doing some stuff to improve bitcoin? No one really knows what Satoshi's doing. Quote
Theymos is the owner now but who hosts Bitcoin Talk? Does Satoshi still run the hosting or does Theymos host it? If Theymos doesn't does he still have access to the server?
I think it's Sir theymos who hosts Bitcointalk. And yes, theymos has access to server.Why do you ask anyway?
The reason I ask because I am just curious. I was wondering if maybe Satoshi was still working on bitcoin talk and hosting it and stuff but was silent while doing so.
I understand now though.
Theymos pay the bills. He receives money from the ads on the forum and from donations. Cyrus is the responsible for the domain name and is also an admin. The other administrators are grue, hilariousandco, mprep, rickbig41,Saltspitoon,
The forum sells ad space in the area beneath the first post of every topic page. This income is used primarily to cover hosting costs and to pay moderators for their work (there are many moderators, so each moderator gets only a small amount -- moderators should be seen as volunteers, not employees). Any leftover amount is typically either saved for future expenses or otherwise reinvested into the forum or the ecosystem.
Nobody knows what Satoshi is doing right now. And this is great =)
