I came across some threads and information i gathered from Google that the bitcointalk forum was originated by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 and according to what i read from Theymos (current forum administrator) that Sirius took over the head administrative position from Satoshi Nakamoto in 2011 till 2012 when he (Theymos) took over from Sirius in 2012 until present. It is understandable that Satoshi Nakamoto left the forum at free will but the head administrator of the forum, is it by the person with most activity, by election or by appointment? and how is the position moderated? since the forum has no owner after the disappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto. My reasons for asking these questions is because i am amazed at how well organized and unique the forum is, even though it doesn't have an owner again (after Satoshi Nakamoto left) since Theymos stated and i quote that the forum is now owned and dedicated to the bitcointalk community in general.
Just asking out of curiosity even though it may not be relevant questions.
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.
