What this template modification accomplishes is eliminating one or more forums from the New Threads listing for ALL users. Note that the way I have implemented this specifically below logged out users would see the posts as they are directed to the page that is the "All Recent Messages" link for logged in users.
Update the 'thread_list_item' template to the following code block, but edit on line 3 and replace "Forum Title to Exclude 1" and "Forum Title to Exclude 2" the forum titles you want to exclude. So if you wanted to exclude the forum we are in now on XenForo you would use "Template Modifications" to replace one of these. It would be better to use forum ids there, though I haven't found a way to get that info easily so just went with the names as it works. (But if you ever change the titles of any excluded forums it will require you to change this code block to keep the messages filtered.)
Also as represented below the part of code:
on line 3 could be removed. That is in place so that the exclusion does not apply when users are clicking the "All Recent Messages" link.
If you want to exclude more or fewer (two exclusions are in the example) you can do this by adding/removing a:
to the ones already in there with the desired forum title.
