Depends on how the new site and the modifications to vbulletin are configured. The instructions for photopost vb gallery and vbadvanced links, for example, say to put it in the root folder and then the scripts connect to vbulletin in its folder. So I have my root directory with vbulletin in its own directory which I think is the most flexible and leaves me free to put in my own index page or portal and expanding the site to include things not vbulletin related is easy.
