Well this is the way I ended up doing it. I created a new div above the table that lists the topics and then did me up some jquery:

var rows = $('table.bbp-topics').find('tr.super-sticky');

        rows.each(function(index) {
            var headhref = $('a.bbp-topic-permalink', this).attr('href');
            var headline = $('a.bbp-topic-permalink', this).html();
            var excerpt = $('.excerpt', this).text();
            var author = $('a.bbp-author-name', this).html();
            var photo = $('a.bbp-author-avatar > img', this).attr('src');
            var replies = $('.bbp-topic-voice-count', this).text();
            var followers = $('.bbp-topic-reply-count', this).text();
            var freshness = $('.bbp-topic-freshness > a', this).html();
            var meta = $('p.bbp-topic-meta', this).text();


            var newrow = '' +
                '' +
                '' + author +' ' +
                '<a href="' + headhref + '">' + headline + '</a><a></a>' +
                '' + excerpt + '' +
                'Replies' + replies + ' ' +
                'Followers' + followers + ' ' +
                'Updated' + freshness + ' ' +
                ' ';

            $('#supersticky').fadeIn().append(newrow)

        })

I found the problem. I had a function in my functions.php was malformed. The correct way was this way:

// Add classes to posts
add_filter('post_class', 'my_post_classes');
function my_post_classes( $classes )
{
    $postType = get_post_type();

    if ( $postType == 'post' ) {
        $classes[] = 'clearfix';

    }

    return $classes;
}

This would be better:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' );

function ja_return_blank() {

    return '';

}

I just noticed that all kinds of classes aren’t being applied to the individual topic rows? Looking at the same page using live preview I see the following classes were applied: post-2019 topic type-topic status-publish hentry odd super-sticky bbp-parent-forum-1998 user-id-1.

Whereas in my child theme I have exactly no classes applied.
