Isn't haveing all those open 777 files and/or directories a bad idea?

Yes and no...
it's a bad idea to have 777 folder permissions on areas which store passwords or config files, but directories which hold nothing more than public images (avatars, attachments, etc) there's really no security risk. Remember, 777 allows YOUR SCRIPTS to write to a directory or file in said directory. Even if someone were to get in, and load a config file of their own in that directory, it wouldn't do anything to your site, as the vb scripts don't look for that file to make database connections, etc...

>> 4. Move Attachments to the File System <<
Does this really help? Why would vBulletin defualt to adding attachments to the database? It's that a lot of overhead that is hardly used?
Can I go back if I like the default way better?

Go Packers!

yes it helps.
the using the DB for attachments is like using the file system (flat-files) for database stuff. It defaults that way because its "easier" and works more "globally" but it is not the optimized setting.
have a read: revjim.net :: Blog Archive :: speed concerns: database vs. filesystem
he says to go for the filesystem... but his test is skewed.
there's a million answers to this:
BLOB database vs filesystem - Google Search
but i would highly suggest using the file system instead of the BLOB field
and yes, you can revert it back if you like, but you shouldn't.
