Can put it where you want it to go. I would recommmend in root. So it would be site.com/forums to get to it
How do I create a /forum/ directory inside a WordPress install?
Just like creating a sub directory. If WordPress is on :
http://example.com/
vBulletin / XenForo / MyBB / SMF etc. will work fine under :
http://example.com/forum/
However you have to work for .htaccess inside /forum/ directory. Forum softwares has pathetic default .htaccess files for pretty permalinks. Worst is of vBulletin. Always check for 404, improper redirects by WP 404 related plugins.
