Move thread/post counts to forum description

[EagleNick]

I thought there was a modification or a step-by-step template edit that could accomplish this, but I cannot find it. If there is, I'd appreciate any direction in locating it.
If not, I am curious to know how to accomplish this.

Notice that the default last two columns ("Threads", "Posts") are removed.

Further to this I'd like to selectively remove the thread/posts counts from certain forums. I'd greatly appreciate it if it were possible to do this.

Many thanks in advance
