Comment:

 The `'bp_template_content'` hook should be satisfactory, modemlooper.

 The problem is you are trying to unhook the function too early.

 ----

 Let's follow the yellow brick road!

 1. You're trying to remove this function call -
 `bbp_member_forums_topics_content()`
 2. `bbp_member_forum_topics_content()` is called from
 `bbp_member_forums_screen_topics()`:
 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.2.4/includes/extend/buddypress/functions.php#L86
 3. `bbp_member_forums_screen_topics()` is called from
 `BBP_Forums_Component::setup_nav()`:
 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.2.4/includes/extend/buddypress/loader.php#L189
 4. The `setup_nav()` method runs `bp_core_new_subnav_item()`:
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7-beta1/bp-core/bp-
 core-buddybar.php#L199
 5. `bp_core_new_subnav_item()` is used to pass the screen function -
 `bbp_member_forums_topic_content()` from point no. 1:
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7-beta1/bp-core/bp-
 core-buddybar.php#L279

 Now, we've reached the end of the road!

 ----

 The hook you're looking at is "bp_screens" and "bp_screens" runs at
 "bp_template_redirect" at priority 6.
 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7-beta1/bp-core/bp-
 core-actions.php#L74

 '''Conclusion:''' Run your hook any time after "bp_template_redirect" at
 priority 6.

 Like so:

 {{{
 function bp4855() {
         remove_action( 'bp_template_content',
 'bbp_member_forums_topics_content' );
 }
 add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'bp4855' );
 }}}

 This runs your removal hook at "bp_template_redirect" at priority 10,
 which is after when BuddyPress / bbPress runs its hook.

 I wrote this quite quick, so I might be skipping a few steps, but
 hopefully you understand what you need to do in the future.

 Run your code after the hook you want to override has executed.
