[Request] Hide Some Forums from New Content

[estan]

I really need this option back again. It was present in 3.4.7 - where I can hide some forums from search results, make them non searchable and not appearing in the New Content section.

The use case is that my community is focused in one direction and then we have few forums that are not so important for most of the members of the community but very active for different reasons. Most people of the community do not care and do not want to see many posts/topics daily in these non important forums.

I use widgets to hide such posts/topics, but still they appear in the New Content section and flood the community. And I do not want to fully close/delete these forums, I just want them to be not so visible / prominent.

Could you guys add per forum options for excluding a forum from A/ New Content B/ Search Results?

I'm hoping that they'll expand the Activity Stream to allow both admins and users to filter content.

Yeah, can't understand why this was removed.
