A painful fact is many VIP/ Donator member accounts got hacked, changed hands, turned to scammers or left the forum.
This is indeed sad. If a hacker successfully claim a VIP/Donator account, it will be disastrous because it will be easier to scam with it. It is understandable that some left the forum and it could also be that some has kicked the bucket.but you also have to take into account the time in which these donations happened - which was mostly at a time when the price of BTC was very low, and people were mining with their computers and for each block received as much as 50 BTC reward.
I understand this. But It will be nice to note that even if BTC does not worth much then, it is only those who has the giving mind that donated. If it was easy, everyone would have donated.As a Donator I can tell you that we have our own exclusive section of the forum (which controversially staff members are also able to participate in) and there are a few Donators such as myself that occasionally post things in there. A quick glance at that section looks like TradeFortress was that last VIP to post anything in there.
Good to read from you and to also know that there is a section of the forum only available to donators and staff. I guess the lasts post there would be somewhere 2021 
. Thanks for your contribution and retained passion in bitcoin and the forum at large .
