Well, you are NOT alone in having Email issues on that site, now it seems almost everyone is and it's been going on for MONTHS! with little or no attempt to fix this issue.
This seems to be a recurring problem with forums, they start off with a BANG! and slowly over time they decline because of this, that, and the other thing. Small details that are not addressed eventually combine into a site that very few care to visit or join or post on.
