At the FORUMHOME template find the following code and either remove it or comment it out.
Code:
<vb:comment>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</div>
<vb:comment>
.
You can also change the phrasing in the phrase manager.
Do a search for the phrase
"Welcome to the {1}"
I hope it helps
