Edit the Plugin and add the Forumid to the list.

*** Untested ***

To make this work with the welcome module of CMPS:

In welcomeblock.php
FIND

PHP Code:

$getnewposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']); 


REPLACE that with

PHP Code:

$getnewposts = $db->query_first("
    SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
    " . iif($vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'], "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread ON (thread.threadid=post.threadid)") . "
    WHERE post.dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit'] . "
    " . iif($vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'], "AND thread.forumid NOT IN (0," . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] . ")") . "
"); 


(The query might need some optimization though)

$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']); 


That's the line which (re)defines the comma-separated list of excluded forums - add your ID to it.
