No, but the forum database was hacked and leaked and these spammy scammy scumfuck ICOs just buy the mailing lists. I keep tagging any Icos who send me emails so hopefully they'll get the message.

Not that I'm aware of, though I haven't heard of any others complaining about new emails or new sign-ups post forum hack having their details leaked.

so when was it leaked? 2013 or 2015?
however I don't get why I started getting these spam only after I returned to the forum
I began actively posting again on this forum last july (2017) after a year+ absence (Apr 2016)
there was no spam in my mailbox up to that point
but after a week or two active in the forum, I started getting crypto related email spam

all those spam arrived in the inbox email that was specifically registered only for bitcointalk
for every sign up, registration or whatever that needs email address, I generate a different address
it's my way to figure out which of my activities that might trigger unwanted incoming messages
the one time I use that email address (since july) was when emailing theymos to unlock my account that july
could there be some rogue agent intercepting communication on bitcointalk/theymos mail server
