 > Can this sub-forum be closed to new messages or just removed?

 Not easily, no. Those aren't "sub-forums" or indeed separate things.

 The plugin and themes support areas are just views into the (hidden)
 plugins and themes forums. So, all the plugin posts go into the plugins
 forum, for example, and that support section is just a view of that forum,
 using the plugin taxonomy to only see the posts about that particular
 plugin.

 So, no, "closing" it isn't like just flipping a switch. Specific code
 would need to be added to the site to remove or hide it.
