Just don't use any password you also use somewhere else, and don't invest efforts you're not prepared to lose any day. The outlook of having to migrate the forum to another software without getting paid for it is... scarier.
PCF member passwords are indeed salted and hashed, using a method beyond what the standard vBulletin installation provides. For obvious reasons, I cannot go into more detail.
I am not sure which vulnerability is referred to in your quote, but PCF is always kept up to date with the latest vBulletin updates and security patches, so there is nothing to be concerned about with regard to your PCF member account.
The recent spam has nothing to do with the forum having been hacked or any compromise of user accounts.
Some idiot is simply registering accounts manually to bypass the various anti-bot measures in place on PCF.
In any case, all new accounts are now automatically moderated by default, so this should no longer be an issue.

Maybe place all recently created users that haven't posted yet under moderation. This should incapacitate the "stock".Spammers typically make a couple hundred accounts wherever they find it possible, so I guess they have some left in stock.

Hopefully something similar will happen this time too.
so you hope the attacks will stop on their own, you sure know how to comfort forum users.
beggining to question the safety of peoples data on this forum
