Moving The Location Of My Forums From A Folder To The Root Directory

[KempoMRK]

I've currently got my forums set up in the /forums directory. I have an index.html redirect setup also.

The problem is, the index.html redirect is pretty slow. If I deleted the index.html file, then moved the folders from within the /forums directory to the main root directory, would this cause any problems?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
