Regardless, what does this have to do with the issue at hand? The current state of security of my own personal sites has nothing to do with a public discussion/repository for security related topics. If any of my sites are compromised, I can immediately reference my logs, find out what happened, and either patch the exploit or take it offline for further review.

Could you say the same?

My point being, a vBulletin-focused security discussion isn't inherently a bad thing -- but it's not going to accomplish what many think it will. If you want to keep up to date on security issues, subscribe to Bugtraq. Consider getting a basic grasp of PHP, so you can skim through the multitude of hacks before installing to look for basic security risks -- such as unsanitized inputs. Be proactive.
