Possibly.
I avoided upgrading the last two releases because of shit like this. But there was a security problem that was found, and 2.0.4 was necessary to stop it.
This is exactly what I hate about software that works on the net, though. There is really no reason why code had to be written that would essentially cripple in "non 2.0.4 approved" templates. They knew that there was an enormous number of BBSs out there that were running custom templates. They have a responsibility not to cause their software to break when there's a mandated update (in my opinion). Yeah, it sucks that the community got away from them in that regard, but for Christ's sake -- if this shit was working previous to 2.0.4 then it's on them, not the template people.
I'm fucked more than others because this scheme is only based off one that somebody else did. There's a very good chance that this BBS will look completely different in the next week or so, and it's totally not by my choice.
