I just went and spammed their forums. Let's see how they like it.

Those bastards are using my store hack too.

That looks like the standard message form that is used when someone uses the email button in your profile, did you by any chance have 'allow emails' set to on ?

If so, then that's what you get when you offer people the chance to email you from a public forum.

As far as I know your actual email address is kept private, it's not disclosed on the form.

Can't see any other way someone would get your email address from these forums , other than using that contact form.

Disable the email button, which you seem to have done.
