I learnt that there was a time forum members donated to the forum which fetched them the titles of donator for 10 BTC donors and VIP for 50 BTC donors.
My question is; are there 50 BTC donors who are still in the forum till date. They deserve respect.
I have seen Ognaty and he donated 10 BTC and still in the forum till today, Kudos to him. I want to know if 50 BTC donors are still here.

Where to find name of donors. https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html

You’ve gotten lot of answers to your question and I believe that would have satisfied your inquisitiveness. All those that have donated to the forum in the past needs to be appreciated and we don’t need to mind the worth of BTC then, at least it was a selfless act to the forum and they appreciated it at that time and gave them some tag of respects to their names.

Amazing number of scammers in these lists Cheesy

Here's some of the most famous ones:

zhoutong - believed to be behind the hack of Bitcoinica, one of the 1st BTC exchange, Roger Ver famously lost 100s of BTC
pirateat40 - architect of the 1st major Bitcoin ponzi scheme, actually served time in a federal penitentiary over it
Goat (now El Cabron) - ran a mining ponzi, a heavy promoter of the pirateat40 ponzi, welched on a few bets
MemoryDealers (Roger Ver) - ran a famous campaign designed to trick the world into mistakenly purchasing BCH by claiming it was "the real Bitcoin"
🏰 TradeFortress 🏰 - already mentioned here, ran at least two different projects in which the loss of 1000s of BTC occurred

What baffles me more is why some of this VIP members later got themselves involved in fraudulent activities, was the donor done initially so that the forum won’t believe them involving in such activities or they later got to know that bitcoin value will continue to increase and the only way to own more of it will be through scamming a lot of people? They have just tarnished their images here and this is despicable of them.
