Today is the day the Legend Satoshi Nakamoto was last active on the forum. Last active - December 13, 2010, 04:45:41 PM

Many people think that Satoshi disappeared from that day on, but he communicated privately with some people for months afterwards outside the forum. The last email that was confirmed was sent to Mike Hearn at the end of April 2011.

I had a few other things on my mind (as always). One is, are you planning on rejoining the community at some point (eg for code reviews), or is your plan to permanently step back from the limelight?
I've moved on to other things. It's in good hands with Gavin and everyone.
I do hope your BitcoinJ continues to be developed into an alternative client. It gives Java devs something to work on, and it's easier with a simpler foundation that doesn't have to do everything. It'll get critical mass when impatient new users can get started using it while the other one is still downloading the block chain

I wish he would become active again on the forum, but I'm not sure if it will ever happen.
90% (and more) of the members from that period are no longer active, why would Satoshi want to come back?
