Let's start raising funds for this domain... Members with 2 years minimum bitcointalk age must contribute.
Count me in with $50 contribution. Waiting for theymos to make an announcement.
Let's do the math in bitcoin,
1 Bitcoin is around $5,000 now
So the bitcointalk.com domain is rouhtly 13 BTC
I think that 13 BTC won't be a problem for the forum, but I don't know anything about the BTC reserve of the forum
So I think Theymos just didn't wanted to buy that domain yet. (even when BTC was near $20,000 that time the domain name was just a bit more than 3 BTC... good old days

)
