How to disable new topics in a forum (enable new polls only)?

Thanks.

Go to Admin->Permissions->Settings tab and check the box for Enable advanced by-board permissions. Then go to the Permissions by board tab. Click on Local for the board you want to have this option for. Then click on the Boards name. Click on Modify for the groups you want to edit and take away the posting rights as you see fit.

Thanks.

I guess it has a performance impact (read the local forum settings) only in the local forums, right?

Yes, it will enforce those settings you made to that board only. The others are still using the global permissions. I suggest going here and search for Permission to read up more about it. Permission settings can work exactly as you want (or at least very close to it) if you set it up properly.
