SEO in the traditional sense is basically dead. You can't really compare your traffic a few years ago to now. Google is constantly making so many algorithm tweaks these days that it's almost impossible to figure out why your ranking dipped.
That is interesting. Did you do anything special while redirecting the forum from vb to xf?
How do you disable signatures for guest viewing? Great idea.You are the minority (by minority, I mean to the best of my knowledge, only person) experiencing this.
I'd question what other factors if any maybe playing a role in this outside of just switching to XenForo.
What is your domain name?
What is in your htaccess?
What is in your robot.txt
What IP's have you blocked?
What is your noise ration ... ie... Do you have signatures public to guest (for example)
How many outbound links to you have?
Is your forum sounded by another software?
Is your forum part of a site?
Tons of things can change this factor as you have stated, Google has changed a few times.

Does that help SEO?AdminCP > Options > Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Un-check > Show Signatures to Guests
No. It's a preference thing. If you want users to show signatures to guests, then use it, but if you don't - turn it off.Does that help SEO?
Yes. it helps keep your niche, nichey as many signatures have nothing to do with your topic which can dilute the topic you want to be known for. Signature disabling was an old vBSEO feature that also helped my code to text ratio.Does that help SEO?
