Cheesy way to get old forum members to return? - GoFuckYourself.com

Call me cynical but an ooooold forum I used to visit just sent me a 'failed login' notification. It definitely got my attention. I wonder if forums use such notifications to get old members back. What exactly would they be coming back to if the forum is dead, right?

Was it GFY? Have not seen you around in a while.

I have a hand full of vb forums i own, that of late, are getting hit by bots trying to login, with the result failed login emails being sent to members. Can been seen in the website's logs.

GFY wouldn't need to send such notices
