Re: The most iconic bitcointalk threads. History on Bitcointalk.
Thank you for your reply, tranthidung!
I understand but, at same time, 🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 still has the VIP status... this does not seem fair...
I knew that Hal received the VIP status post mortem, this is also why I was wondering why he appears in xtraelv's list as 50 BTC Donator, while he hasn't donated that amount... But I thought it's possible that I don't know all the story and, maybe, he donated 50 BTC though. However, your post clears the question about Hal and MagicalTux. I believe that xtraelv should remove them from the 50 BTC Donators list.
Now, the only remaining question is about Mt.Gox Support. Most likely, this user received the VIP status together with Karpeles (MagicalTux), for same reason stated by theymos above. In this case, this user should also be removed from xtraelv's list.
Excepting that, I just noticed that xtraelv's OP is empty and all the information appears in the second post of this thread... any idea why?
but for these two members, I know. Stats on active & merit status of Donators & VIPs. In the past, when I checked, they are old scammers and their names are still in list of VIP donators. Likely their VIP badges were removed because of their scams activities.

Some VIP members got the VIP badges without 50 BTC donation
MagicalTux got "free" VIP status for hosting the forum for a long time, too. I think that him plus Hal are the only free donator statuses I gave out. You'd have to do something pretty extraordinary to convince me to give out another free one.
