I'm not sure how it got turned on, but there a few different ways, maybe you somehow set 'A notification when new content is posted'

You can change that, and your other notification and email settings yourself:

  1. Click the little arrow next to you username at the top right of any forum page.
  2. Click on 'Account Settings'.
  3. In the page that opens look on the right side and click on 'Notification Settings'.
  4. You can now turn on/off which notifcations and/or emails you get.
    	There general options at the top and then below those there are on/off sliders for control of if you get an email or a notification on the forum for different things.

    	When you've finished setting them as you want click on 'Save'
