you would have to edit a lot of templates then, mostly redirection templates as thos try to get you back on forums main page which was index.php before.
you might experience other problems i might not be aware of.

result: dont do that

you better keep it vbindex.php and put a .htaccess file in your root folder that tells a visitors browser that NOT index.php but vbindex.php is the file to go to first when the root url is called.
i dont have the syntax for it here but search the forums for htaccess & DirectoryIndex and you will find it.

kreftt.... Thank you for the advice. I'm still beta testing this particular board, and I'll try that and a few other options as well.

What I'm undecided about however is to where I want the users to spend the majority of their time. Do I want them to constantly be re-directed back to myvbindex? Or do I want them to see the list of different forums I am offering?

The way I figure, once they see the news and gadgets on myvbindex once per day, they are pretty much done with it, and will want to get to the *meat* of the board.

I need to join a couple of boards using this hack and get a good feel for it.
