I needed this hack and saw that a number of other people have requested it but I could not find one. I have a number of forums that are for subscribers on our site only (paid site). I wanted non subscribers to be able to see the last post, post count, and thread count on the main forum screen so that they could see how much activity goes on in those forums. This was very easy to do in vb2 but took me a while to figure out how to do it in vb3. In v3.0.3 edit includes/functions_forumlist.php and starting on line 162 comment out the lines that I have commented out in this file.
