Bot notification is more convenient and safe than email notification. I cannot imagine spamming my email with any mention of my username. I don't visit my email often and I don't subscribe to third party newsletter. So, when a mail drops in my box, I know it is for work or other official messages that needs attention and not a forum mention by a random user.
I even want to stop the default pm notification through email.
I also used notification bots a long time ago and still use them today. I got a notification and it will be easier for me to respond quickly. If I'm currently inactive, then I'll get it back the next day. While email notifications are very limited in terms of their functionality, in some ways I agree with _BlackStar.
I thank TryNinja for this masterpiece.
