Exclude forums on Forum index page?

[Razasharp]

Hi All, just wondering if anyone can help with this idea.

Is it possible to exclude some forums from being listed on the forum index by doing something like this in the url:

vbhackers.com/index.php?&exclude=10,28,12

So following that link would show the forum index page but not forums 10, 28 and 12. However if someone goes to the normal index.php the forums show as normal.

I was wondering if it is easy enough to do as there is already something similar built in for the new posts link: search.php?do=getnew&exclude=10,28,12 simply add the bit in bold to prevent new posts from the forums 10,28 and 12 from showing in the new posts link search results.

There is a hack on vb.org that does it via members specifiying forums to exclude in their Usercp. But this is too permenant - I just want to add them as quick links - so still give people the option to see all forums when they want to, just a click away.

Can anyone help with this? Is it even possible?

Any help or pointers appreciated!
