It seems some people are worrying a little too much about the stolen passwords thing. It is just a precaution to change your password. The forum passwords were hashed, making them very difficult and not worth it to crack.
The most danger you are in is getting spam email or perhaps a virus sent through email.

Which is why it's not only md5 (always add the salt) and why it was a precaution for you to change your password just in case
