The admin who's running it currently is theymos, not sure if he/she is the owner though -as in owning the domain-.

He said that Sirius is owner of domain, he is just like idk, CEO maybe Cheesy there are probably some more people involved in management.

Wait really?

Where does it show hes the owner..?

Must be an awesome feeling to have..  Smiley

Theymos was given the privilege. Originally Satoshi hosted the forums on SourceForge, then moved them to bitcoin.org. Shortly after Satoshi disappeared, the forums were moved here and hosted by Sirius. Theymos took over control of the forums after that.

If satoshi dissapeard how did he gave theymos acces to servers?

He didn't. Satoshi passed the keys to Sirius while it was still hosted on bitcoin.org. After he disappeared, Sirius moved the forum to this site. Some point after that Theymos was chosen to take over.

But that doesnt rly makes him an "owner" ? Does it ?
But yeah he is the one in charge. Smiley

Theymos runs the forum, but he doesn't "own" it in legal terms. He even said that himself:

Sirius founded the forum and still owns the domain name, so I would say that he owns it.
