I've a quite big vBulletin forum, with 400'000 messages and 15'000 users. Now I want to disable the vBulletin CMS and install Wordpress in the root of my domain.

So I'll move the forum in a folder (mysite.it/forum/) or in a subdomain (forum.mysite.it). Which is the best solution according to your experience?
What do you suggest me to do?
Thanks.

It depends if you want to keep your page-rank for SEO or not. If you switch to a subdomain you will get a huge hit on your PR as subdomains are treated separately from main domains.

For this reason, I would have it in a subfolder. There is no one stopping you from doing a 301 redirect from subdomain to subfolder, so you will be able to access via both.
