Here's I'm collecting some mysterious FAQ you might find interested and not even in the wiki -
1. If Theymos has the administrator role does he actually knows about Satoshi? - Find out
Theymos on BitcoinTalk
- It's better if you can find the answer directly from him.
It's surprising how well-documented history can become totally forgotten... Satoshi created the forum on Nov 22, 2009, and was head administrator until almost 2011. Then Sirius was head administrator until 2012, which is when I took over.
Cobra also owns the bitcointalk.org domain name. I consider the forum to be basically owned by or at least dedicated to the Bitcoin community, though; I don't call anyone an owner of the forum.
Here Theymos already made it clear, that the forum to be owned by or be dedicated to it community, Satoshi is anonymous, we cant have his identity, we don't know if he is a single person or a group of person, also from your quote here, there have been other existing administrator before Theymos was appointed and till now, we still have Cyrus as admin as well, we don't know about the future, if they will also passed it on to anyone to be in charge or not, which i believe its not by how conversant they are with anyone taking over the forum admin, but believing in the capacity through what they can deliver, for your answer, if Theymos knows Satoshi, then there is probability other previous admins also knew him, but if he doesn't, we may apply the same on others, i think Theymos may be the only one to give the best response on this, though i dont know your motive for knowing about all these.
