I don't understand what you mean by "the cgi bin getting in the way"

No. If you want the forum to be the first thing a user coming to your domain sees, then all the files and directories contained in the "vb upload folder" need to be moved to the public_html directory. So move all the files and directories you have uploaded from the "upload" directory to directly under the public_html directory so your "upload folder" becomes empty. Then delete the "upload folder".

Not like this
public_html / upload / indexfile, otherfiles, otherdirectories

Like this
public_html / indexfile, otherfiles, otherdirectories
