How do I disable Hot Topics, apart from editing the postlist template?

completely untested, but some features can be disabled by setting the option to 0.

Do you need Forum Install or Upgrade Services?

Should have mentioned that I already tried using a blank, zero and a negative value -- neither worked.

Currently it can't be disabled. However you could set the views or replies for a hot topic to an extremely high number that could never be reached, which would essentially disable them.
