How can I remove or not display Category selector when user is posting to a forum?

HI all
I've had a hack into forms.inc but I suspect there is a better way.
background:
* my site has several forums but they must be kept seperate.
* When user clicks 'add a new post' they get the 'submit forum topic' (node/add/forum) form with the default set to the forum the user was looking at when they hit the link.
mission:
* not to show the drop down when users are adding to forums, yet allow the drop down for all other node type submissions.
Thankyou for any help.

maybe there is a better way but this will do for now. cheers for reading!

If anyone has a better solution that doesn't involve altering the source, I'd be interested!
