Re: The Bitcointalk 50 BTC VIP club. Where are they now ? Complete list.
Maybe they didn't donate 50 BTC but were gifted the VIP status because of their contribution to Bitcoin and the forum.
Right. I posted about this somewhere when I did it.
IIRC MagicalTux also got VIP without paying 50 BTC because he contributed significant resources in other ways.

Thanks for confirming that. I found the post.
