That would leave just the topic & poster. Is that all you want to display?
Left aligned instead of centered?
You can edit the actual function located in SSI.php (main directory tree) if you prefer or you have the option of copy & paste just that function into a custom php block (renaming it) where you would edit the display located at the end of the function.
You need to rename the function so you do not get a duplicate function error if you opt the latter.
ie. Custom PHP block code:
ssi_recentTopics2(10, null, array(24), 'echo');
/* Recent topic list: [board] Subject by Poster Date */
function ssi_recentTopics2($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo')

.. I commented out the cells you don't want displayed & set it to align the one cell to the left.
Edit it as preferred.
ie. table cells: <td ..> blah blah </td>
