Can you add an option in the config file to have /hud on or off by default?

the entire hud (Current area and in-game events) or just the events hud?

The entire hud, so it would be off by default and would be toggled on/off with /hud still.

Being able to disable the events hud would be great, this plugin is great for prim servers and half the events don't even take place on them by default. It would be nice to be able to select which ones are visisble and which aren't.
