You can always hack vB to only display the contents of BB code like quote to members only that way Google doesn't see it if your worried. I wouldn't bother personally, there's 101 things to improve with vB and SEO other than quote's.

    No kidding. Another reason why I can't stand vBulletin. (Though SMF has its issues as well.)
