You can go into advanced and turn off blogs, comments, messaging, notes, and so on: these then disappear from the various screens such as in the user profile pages. But seemingly not-so with forums. Is there a reason why accessing forums can't be easily disabled? (I had to over-ride renderers in my theme to get it done)
