MyBB Community Forums

I want to transfer MyBB forum from subfolder forum to the root. Whether this code is done properly redirection with GoogleSEO urls?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
</IfModule>

I don't think you should be throwing out 301s left and right. I would suggest actually moving the files up one directory (fastest and easiest way would be over SSH, but you could always use FTP).
