Ok I found a more elegant solution that seems to work so far:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
  <!-- you want to show 7 posts per page... -->
  <?php
    $col = "left";
    query_posts("showposts=7");
    while (have_posts()) : the_post();
  ?>

  <?php if ($post == $posts[0]) { ?>
  <!--toppost -->
  <div class="toppost" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    <!-- Most recent post here -->
  </div>
  <!--/toppost -->

  <?php continue; } else { ?>
    <?php if ($col == "left") { ?>
    <!--row -->
    <div class="row">
    <?php } ?>
    <!--post -->
    <div class="smallpost <?php echo $col; ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
      <!-- Older post goes here, either on left or right -->
    </div>
    <!--/post -->
    <?php } ?>

    <?php if ($col == "right") { ?>
    </div>
    <!--/row -->
    <?php } $col = ($col == "left") ? "right" : "left"; ?>

  <?php endwhile; ?>

It seems to be very dynamic and elegant, and works well so far.

I must be misunderstanding, but from what I understand, int he wordpress dashboard, go to the ‘Plugins’ tab, then the ‘bbPress’ sub-tab, therer should be a textbox to put it in on that page… If I am misunderstanding your problem, I apologize.
