If i upgrade forum to 1.6.4... Will i still be able to use my plugins that are on 1.6.3? + Themes.. If so , how could i upgrade my forum?
plugins working on myBB 1.6.3 also work fine on myBB 1.6.4

for upgrading, you have to turn OFF the board ; upload all files from myBB 1.6.4 to
your myBB installation by overwriting earlier files ; then run the upgrade script ...

see Upgrading from 1.6.3 ...

How could i turn off the bord?
admin panel --> configuration --> settings --> Board Online / Offline --> Board Closed <-- yes

experts have suggested to use .htaccess file to close the forum
you can add below code to .htaccess and upload it to your forum root

<Files *>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from put.your.ip-address.here
</Files>

.htaccess file with above code needs to be deleted after upgrading the forum
