Brief forum history
The question should be what happens if cobra decide to bring the two domain down(bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org)? Since he is the only one with the ultimate power over the two bitcoin platform. Sirus being the domain original owner handed it over to cobra, the forum was first lunched on sourceforge by Sir Satoshi
http://bitcoin.sourceforge.net/boards/index.php.

Theymos was made full time administrator Jan 2012 after sirus left the forum
There was a period where both Sirius and I were active administrators. For convenience, I reckon Jan 1, 2012 as when I became head administrator, though it was actually a gradual transition starting before and ending after that.

Thread is locked I couldn't find the link but theymos said this.

Bitcoin.org:
 - Cobra has ultimate control over the domain name. I have access to the domain name settings.
 - Cobra runs the server.
 - Will Binns holds the BTC.

Bitcointalk.org:
 - Cobra has ultimate control over the domain name. I have access to the domain name settings.
 - I run the server. Cobra has no access to the database or server.
 - The BTC is held by myself and the treasurers. Cobra has no access.

I am not Cobra. What would even be the point of that?
