Edit the URL in your AdminCP > vBulletin Options

Then just rename the /forums/ folder to /forum/ in your FTP client

that should be easy..

Personal preference. I don't see any reason to go to the effort or hassle of changing it really.

Don't forget that if you change it, all external links (google etc..) will not work anymore.
