I wonder if Satoshi will ever make a come back to this forum and wonder if we will ever know his/her/their real identity.
@satoshi: all it takes is one new post, and I'll send you 50 Merit
I didn't know "locked" also means he's banned though, until I added OmegaStarScream's list to my list of banned users. Most of them have probably been banned for years already, I just didn't know about them until last week.
Last week, 1019 users on my Trust list viewer were marked as banned. This week, it's 2122 users.
Update:
From Will "satoshi" ever login again?:
The forum is so harsh that even satoshi has been banned. 
This is mistake?
I've known for a long time that satoshi's account was locked (I think I must have read it in a post from theymos) to prevent it from being hacked. If satoshi wants to come back, all it takes is a signed message to theymos and he can regain access. This is mistake?@satoshi: all it takes is one new post, and I'll send you 50 Merit

Do you think "satoshi" will ever just randomly log in one day and post something?
His account is locked, so no. If he wants to claim his account, he'll have to contact me with a PGP signature.Personally, I doubt that satoshi will ever come back. The odds seem to be quite far against it.
I am starting to consider that if he has already been successful (to date) of really baffling everyone in terms of concealing his identity in spite of the passion and likely interest in wanting to know who he is, then why would he screw up such a seeming concealment success story.
Some of the only scenarios that I could imagine would be cases in which he gets outed - for example, in circumstances that he is already known or the information gets leaked or discovered. But never say never, and surely all kinds of crazy things can happen in the world. It's not like satoshi was some kind of precocious teenager without much history and who died right after creating bitcoin. S/he/they seemed to have had a decent amount of knowledge of various systems and cryptography dynamics, which probably would take a lot of years to figure out how to combine various already tried projects into what turned into bitcoin.
