Re: The most iconic bitcointalk threads. History on Bitcointalk.
A few hints for the OP:
The forum was also reachable under forum.bitcoin.org for some time before it moved to bitcointalk.org IIRC.
The "name" of the forum is actually "Bitcoin Forum", not "Bitcointalk" (see upper left corner of this page).
Also, it might be noteworthy that for some time, DDOSing this forum coincided with dumps on then dominant Bitcoin exchange MtGox. I.e., you could DDOS this forum, which in turn made the price of Bitcoin drop. Market manipulation wild Wild West
I've edited the OP to include some of your comments and used part of your post as a quote on the Bitcointalk history of hacks and vandalism and Bitcointalk history of MtGox and how a Bitcointalk post caught the MtGox hacker. threads. It is great to have this type of input from people that were actually there when some of this history was being made.
