just this:

global $vbulletin 
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7))
{
  $is_livetopic = true;
  $livetopichook = 'template_edits';
  include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}

work only for groups 5, 6, and 7

OR

global $vbulletin 
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2))
{
  $is_livetopic = true;
  $livetopichook = 'template_edits';
  include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}
