If you go to “Account settings”—which is the second from bottom item when you hover over your user avatar in the top right—then go to “Notifications” then “Private messages,” you can make it so that you’ll receive an email when someone messages you on this forum, to whichever email you used to sign up. (This is in fact the default setting, I believe.) I think as long as you don’t deactivate your account, you can thus ensure that you’ll be notified if someone tries to contact you in the future, even if you’re not actively monitoring your account.
