you can't add it to your page.tpl file because it isn't aware of $node. if you are using pathauto and making all forum topics have a specific prefix, you could filter on that prefix, but that would be in the block visibility still. If you want to do it in the page.tpl file, you could do something like this:

$thenode = node_load(arg(1));
if($thenode->type != 'forum'){
//print sidebar
}

but that is going to cause an extra node to load on the server. not a big deal on small sites, but if it gets big, you're going to want to do it another way.

Thanks for the help Brett. Here's what i tried adding to my page.tpl.php and page-front.tpl.php (the bolded area) but it doesn't seem to be working:

 <div id="secondary">
      <?php if ($sidebar_left_featured) { print "<div class='sidebar-featured'>$sidebar_left_featured</div>"; } ?>
      <?php if ($sidebar_left) { print $sidebar_left; } ?>
      <?php if ($node->type == 'forum') return false; ?>
    </div>
    <div id="tertiary">
      <?php if ($sidebar_right) { print $sidebar_right; } ?>
      <?php if ($node->type == 'forum') return false; ?>
    </div>

probably in the block visibility for whatever block you don't want to show.

Dumb question time (i'm bad with php).. does this go somewhere in my page.tpl.php or template.php?

You could put some logic in your template file to check if the current page is the forum, or you could put logic in the blocks to not show on forum pages. Should be something like
if($node->type == 'forum') return false;

I'm using the drupal efficient theme located here: themesnap.com and whenever i try to go to my forums page, it crams it in the far left column but leaves the two right sidebars on. Is there a way to remove the sidebars from this particular view only so that the forums display correctly? You can see what I mean here: http://shockedoctopus.com/phpbbforum/
