It's probably a spoofed email. Just a guess, though.

Are you sure it wasnt a PM notification or email sent from within your profile? Share the full email privately, with headers and all.

If you could also forward the header information back to support@crowdgather.com, I can have the techs look at it and see if it came from email or a site notification.

Just to warn you, I'm the owner of the admin account "Raziel",
I received today a mail from the forum saying someone tried to access my account too many times. Now, I can't log in with my username & pass. Can't get it back either. The site says "Raziel" last visited yesterday, which is bs since I didn't come for weeks.
So, as a piece of advice, you should look it up and check if it's related to that porn spam that I also received.
If I can get my account back in the process, you'd be more than welcome

If safety is potentially compromised, there is no need for swift recovery for now, individual calling himself "Ronan" claiming to be Raziel.

Good to see you have it back!

... but we had the malicious content warning recently, and now spam and hacked accounts? That's a bit troublesome.

Yep, though it was more about the potential security hole than using it. :P
