If you're talking about the forum that used to be at forum.bitcoin.org, then it's the same forum as the one at bitcointalk.org. Are you referring to some other forum?

It seems <https://bitcointalk.org/> has the posts since November 22, 2009. For example, all satoshi's posts are [here](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts) (user id u=3).
