There are no new threads

This is what you said, but screens say POSTS and not THREADS.
You should have posted screenshots earlier.. they make understanding easier.

anyways.. to get rid of that, you'll have to make that forum a category as I told earlier. It would ofcourse look messy, that is why it is suggested to keep it there. It even contains the Forum Tools menu.

However, if you still want to get rid of that.. you'll have to edit a bit of code in the FORUMDISPLAY template with a conditional that checks for the forum ID which is a category.

Find this in FORUMDISPLAY:-

    <!-- show no threads message -->
    <tbody>
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1" colspan="$foruminfo[bottomcolspan]" align="center">
            <div style="padding: 16px">
                <if condition="$show['noposts']"><strong>$vbphrase[no_posts_in_this_forum]</strong><else /><strong><phrase 1="$daysprune">$vbphrase[no_posts_last_x_days_forum]</phrase></strong><br />
                <span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[try_controls_below_for_older_posts]</span></if>
            </div>
        </td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
    <!-- end show no threads message -->

Replace with this:-

<if condition="$forum[forumid] != X">
    <!-- show no threads message -->
    <tbody>
    <tr>
        <td class="alt1" colspan="$foruminfo[bottomcolspan]" align="center">
            <div style="padding: 16px">
                <if condition="$show['noposts']"><strong>$vbphrase[no_posts_in_this_forum]</strong><else /><strong><phrase 1="$daysprune">$vbphrase[no_posts_last_x_days_forum]</phrase></strong><br />
                <span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[try_controls_below_for_older_posts]</span></if>
            </div>
        </td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
    <!-- end show no threads message -->
</if>

Replace the X in the code above with the Forum ID where you do not want to display that box.

Use this for multiple forums:-

<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2,3,6))">
