The forum was originally located at bitcoin.org/smf, then forum.bitcoin.org (hence the redirect), and finally bitcointalk.org.

Another curiosity, which I found in this research I did, is that in October 2011, there were already more than 40,000 members registered on the forum. Incredible what was accomplished in 2 years.
