Velocd kinda explained this earlier in the thread for what he used to exclude private forums... I used it to exclude newsgroup forums.

In the top of codeblock put:

$discluded = "50,60,70";

where the numbers are the forumid's that you want to exclude

after
WHERE thread.threadid<>$thread[threadid] $iforumperms
put:

AND thread.forumid NOT IN ($discluded)
