I've been a member of the forum for quite a while (though I'm not an old-school one by any means), and it actually surprised me that I didn't know most of what Theymos said in that post and that I'm as ignorant of forum history as I am.  Bitcointalk is where I spend a good deal of my time on the internet, so you'd think I'd pay attention to its history.....so anyway, thanks for linking to that.  I would have never found that specific post unless I knew Theymos wrote it (which I didn't).

OP, the forum is obviously not dependent on Satoshi anymore, and the fact that it exists should prove that it changed hands at some point, even if you didn't know the details.

So Cobra owns the website, right?  What is it an administrator does, exactly?  And I'm talking about Theymos.  Is he paid to be an administrator, or does he just share in the forum's profits?
