This is an assumption, and we can't base the fate of the forum on that. Has the government banned advertisers simply for advertising certain products/services? Yes! This is not new.
Such an argument would be pointless, especially since some of @theymos'
[1] quotes have already been fulfilled, and mixers campaigns/links are running on the other forum --->

Exactly what I started with, it should have been put behind us by now.
But wait a minute, are you comparing altcoinstalks with Bitcointalk? It's like comparing Elon Musk with some kind of peasant farmer. Also, they weren't created for the same purpose and don't have the same integrity to protect. Bitcointalk is better known and more honourable than you think, and such attracts the attention of authorities more.
Legal advice is the best solution
Funny! Bitcointalk will sue the authorities if they take action? Unforeseen drama should be avoided, and theymos did well on that.
