I think it's not hard to parse the member list.
The problem is to automate the pm sending.

Firstly, who want to create the message to send, it is not my language. I work to a solution, maybe that will fail or take too long time.

If only we had a programming language that could be used to automate such a thing :)
Maybe someone has some free time, but clearly we need a way to send out a notice to as many as possible.

I figured as much, but thought it was worth asking.

I don't know if this is even possible, but has anyone tried to get many of the email addresses from the old forum so that we could send out a simple broadcast email stating the new auto-hotkey.com site and that interested users should go here and register?

Or perhaps there is a better way to let everyone know? I only found this because I took the time to read the ugly thread on the old site. We can't depend on that as a way to get the word out.

Eventually, google will show the new site for prevalently, but that will take time.
