I got it... no plugin required.

I looked at the Vbulletin 3.8 Conditionals List on vb.com & found what I was looking for.

For those that want to hide the "New Thread" Button in certain forum you will need to edit the FORUMDISPLAY template. (Backup your template before you edit it)

There will be two instances of the following.

Find:

	<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>

Replace with:

<if condition="$forumid != 6">
	<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td></if>

The only change in the code is the if conditional.
Also, my forum id is 6 that I want to hide the New Thread Buttons, change that number to the forum ID you want to hide the New Thread button in...

Thank You for your replies...
