I don't quite get the whole point of the article. What does the author really want to say? Does he/she just want to share that there is such a thing as a Bitcoin forum and that it survived certain hacks and then it has money?

Anyway, I agree that Theymos has captained this forum quite well. Considering that he started as a lead administrator at a relatively young age and must also be busy juggling other responsibilities outside this forum, he did quite well. He always seems brilliant and balanced.
