two things are needed and they both involve database queries.

1) change the database default for when vB creates a user (PHP may not have "ALTER" permissions, so this may have to be done directly in the database)

 ALTER TABLE user CHANGE receivebulletin_type receivebulletin_type SMALLINT( 5 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';

2) update all the current users

UPDATE user SET receivebulletin_type = 0;
