just do this, insted of making catagorys. make forums with no description (unless you want one) and give them sub-forums.

with a bit of template editing you can make it look just like you want it

Well, what exactly would I have to edit to turn those forums into "no posting" places? I don't even really want them to be links since the links would take them to a forum I don't want to use.

Install the "Collapsed forum on forumhome" hack. And if that's now what you want, I give up.

Ooooooo... I just thought of something... The 1 forum depth thing works, the only problem was that I didn't think to make the regular forum a category and then make a sub forum under that. So, that actually does work now.... thanks for your help people! I wouldn't of gotten this far although it seems like an easy fix.

Lol...

If you had perhaps constructed an image of how you wanted it to look, we could have helped more...

Anything else?
