by Guest July 21st 2018, 10:06 pmHello there! I sincerely apologize if this is in the wrong forum or so. 
I searched for some time to see if this had been a question that had been already covered, but I was unable to find anything, so I apologize in advance if this has already been addressed.
Anyway, I have a concern: I have a site that belonged to me and an old friend that we used to roleplay on that we no longer use (it's basically an archive now), but I still log in everyone once in awhile to make sure nothing has been tampered with and everything is in its original state. I logged in today and checked my pms, seeing I had a couple new ones (one was from my old friend), and I saw that there was a guest that had sent me a private message. This extremely concerns me, as I do not have the forum accessible to guests in anyway-they can't pm, can't check forums...Nothing.
Here's the private message in concern:
(I took out the skype name and email address, just to be safe case. If there's anything else I need to remove, I will gladly do so).
I checked around in the admin settings and saw I had been enlisted in a forum directory (which I removed myself from), so this is the only reason I suspect I got this message in the first place, as I do not believe my forum has any traffic.
I was just wondering if this is an affiliate of Forumotion that has access to sending pms, regardless of how private the forum is? Or is this some sort of spam/scam message that was sent via hacking or something?
I hope that all made sense! I appreciate any help from this, as it admittedly has me freaked out.
Thanks in advance! Best wishes, all!

I've never had any interaction with the contact links and such and forgot they existed...I feel so foolish, haha! I feel so much better knowing it wasn't hacked or something.
I appreciate the help. Best wishes!
