I was just wondering how to make my vBulletin appear when you go to RPcentral.net instead of going to RPcentral.net/forums.
any help would be appreciated.

Copy all your files from the forums directory to the root directory for your site.
Log into your ACP and under vBOptions > Site Name/URL settings update the URL to reflect the change.
Note: moving your forums from /forums to / will mean that all your pages listed in search engines will no longer exist.

An alternate way around this would be to install a CMPS (such as vBAdvanced). It'll give you a nice portal and frontpage to boot. :)

Create an index.php file in the root that redirects you to the /forums folder.
Just one line is needed in the file ;
<?php header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/"); ?>
