A meta redirect isn't really ideal. Google will index that page even though it's just meant as a redirect. And a 301 redirect isn't the best idea either, that's meant for a situation where a resource has changed location. It seems the nicest way of doing it is using mod_alias. Provided it is installed, add this to the bottom of your .htaccess file:

Alias / /forum

You shouldn't really do any of this though. The proper way to fix this is to simply move your MyBB installation from /forum to root. It's not that hard. You just have to change your board URL and cookie settings. Then grab the files from within /forum and move them to /.

I was going to suggest this but the OP doesn't want to move the forum to root and wants to use /forum Undecided
