Let vbulletin.com live on as the sales site.

It wouldn't make any difference.
It's not the domain that is targeted, it's the server. And as soon as the attacker finds any official vBulletin site that he doesn't know about, he'll find the server IP and start attacking it. DoS attacks overload a server through the sheer number of requests it receives... I'm sure the vB team are doing all they can, but there isn't much that can be done. Even banning IP addresses would only stop an inexperienced attacker.
