This is how I answered your support ticket. However I felt everyone should enjoy the response so I am reposting it here.
You can do what you want quite easily. If you assign your category a display order of 0 (zero) it will not show on the main index page. This will include all of its subforums as well.
To access it you can call it by forumid directly. So if you create a category called "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and it is forumid is 10 the URL would be:
http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=10.
You could make that easier say something like:
http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/buffy
By creating a new directory and inserting the following into index.php:
<?
header ("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=10");
?>
Hope this helps many people.
