Btw for me not this stats but it will be interesting to know who has deposited the most bitcoin calculated in USD amount, I mean deposit of bitcoin when it's price was high, 50 bitcoin has different value 8 years ago and 9 years ago, there was difference even in months so that's why I am asking, who was the biggest donator ever.

I found it.

Fees of one hosting month for donator badge.
Fees of 5 hosting months for the VIP badge.

At very early days when the forum created the donation page.

If you donate 10 BTC (which pays for about a month of hosting), you get donator status:

List of VIPs and donators likely sorted by their donating time (I guess so). The second VIPs at the bottom (above TradeFortess) is lixaolai. That VIP was inactively posted since 2014. Form post history, I guess that VIP donated in the period from July 2011 to April 2013. I bet on April 2013.

It was supported by post history of two other VIPs (above and below lixaolai):

The first post of TradeFortress on September 2012 (what I saw today, not sure deleted posts that probably before September 2012).

The first post of mLiberty (just above lixaolai in the list) is April 2013.

If my guess is correct, the forum has last VIPs sometime around mid of 2013.

Probably

Last VIP: on April 2013 or mid-2013.
Last donator: on April 2017.

And how many BTC would this status be in terms of the present?? Cause 10-50 BTC now represent a whole different value as back in the days ...

Badges for VIPs or donators are not only visual recognitions for their past contributions to the forum, but also a kind of recognition for very early adopter of Bitcoin. They play some roles in the growth of crypto, somewhat they brought Bitcoin to the world. But they are not only ones because there are people who did the same things but did not donated.
