The real problem is, the bigger the forum you create, the greater the risk of closing it. That could happen if a user of your forum accidentally posts a note that PB considers infringing, be ready to go.

That seems to be the case.

Doubtful - as there are a number of large PB forums out there that are still running. To reiterate what was said above, if you read Section 19 (Objectionable Content) of the Terms of Service, you may figure out what was the cause. Note that the Abuse Department will typically send a PM to the main Admin account (username: admin; user ID: 1) if there is some (not forum-wide) violating content.

I have secondary accounts on most of my forums that I use more than my main admin account, but I'm always checking the main admin account for any PM's - even ones I may not be expecting, such as any that may be from the Abuse Department. Fortunately, I have never received any PM's from them - but I'm always watching, just in case.

I understand you are not happy with the closing of your forum, however what you quoted is not the case, and the claim is false as pointed out earlier in this thread.  If a user posts something that violates, then the Abuse Department will message the forum admin to remove that content. They will not shut down the forum. For a forum to be taken down it must be in grievous violation of the terms of service, such that a simple warning would not fix the violation.
