In the future I hope we can make some changes to stop sending these emails to customers and instead send them to a local email address where network admins can keep an eye out. However- with the nature of the way things work here- it won't come soon enough to stop this attack, only hope it won't happen again in the future.

Not an OpenSSL issue. Completely unrelated- vBulletin.org doesn't use SSL. Even if it did, a brute force attack isn't a symptom of the OpenSSL issue- they would already have the sensitive data, they wouldn't be trying to figure it out.

As long as you have a decently secure password you are safe. Make sure all websites, especially vBulletin.org has a secure (complex/long) and unique password. The unique part being perhaps the most importing. With a unique password the absolute worst thing a hacker could do is post as you- which isn't high on the severity meter.

We hear you and will do something as soon as we can, but it won't be today unfortunately.
