This is somewhat difficult to implement.
Realistically, one would question why you want pagination.  You should probably be categorising your forums more if you have too many of them.
And clicking is far less user friendly than scrolling, so you don't gain much from that.  Note that this form of hiding also makes stuff like search more difficult to use.

Thank you, good point.
Will take a look a the sub-forums idea to minimize the homepage scrolling.
Challenge is, for this site purpose, have (now) 2 categories which ideally need a couple dozen or so forums under each, and then maybe another couple dozen sub-forums.
Maybe could categorize more, but either way there may be a lot of categories with forums under, to scroll down through at homepage.
Trying to strike a balance between too much scrolling and the way it is displayed up front.

Question...
Could it be possible to make the homepage open with categories normally collapsed, and then expand them to see the forums under ?
Make expand and collapse button/function very obvious, so users could easily see what they need to do to see the forum list under each category ?
Guess just wondering if possible, so know whether to look into further.
