I used to think Satoshi invented this forum, that he invented the forum to help discuss the promotion of the token and community. If he did, who got the forum administration employed ? and if he was not the one, then there was a link to him along the line of transferring the forum's leadership. He is not actually anonymous, am sure some people or organisation or government are hiding him

I think theymos probably knows satoshi's identity. Although it's quite easy to remain anonymous on the internet so it might not be true.

Satoshi originally published bitcoincore on sourceforge and there was a forum there but the forum was moved here (for obvious reasons). Theymos took over control of the forum after satoshi gave him ownership privileges. I think sirius was also quite heavily involved in the forum at the start (not sure where badbear came into the equation though - the old admin here).

Also, anyone know where the forum was before it got moved to amazon aws?

I have not had so much personal interest about Satoshi. I am also very new in the forum to know how things had been before now and how they are now.
But I am personally convinced that Satoshi has not moved on, he is actively involved in Bitcoin things and also still present in the forum.
Someone can be 100% anonymous in the internet and not in real life.

I use myself for instance;
I am few months old in the forum and I am just a mere Full member. But even if I want to quit bitcointalk today, I will never hand my account over to an unknown person. I'll rather give a friend who is knowledgeable in the forum, to be sure that my account won't turn spam or red tagged before I could return.
Compare it to a whole forum. Satoshi should know Theymos identity to an extent, vice versa before the hand over.
