Maybe set a domain redirect to www.yourdomainname.com/forum ?

Disable the vbulletin CMS in AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products

At the index.php file comment out the part for the cms and uncomment the one for the forum. i.e.

/**
* Use the CMS as the default script:
*/

//require('content.php');


/**
* Use the forum as the default script:
*/

require('forum.php');

require('forum.php');

So uncomment //require('content.php'); and comment out require('forum.php'); ??

The easiest way to do it is to do the redirect in the htaccess file in the domain root. That way you don't have to re-edit files on an upgrade.

The easiest way to do it is
settings >> Forums Home Page Options >> Script Name for Forum Home Page
add forum

also you can delete your index and rename forum to index also works
