Another site I'm a member of was forced to upgrade to 6.0.3 which was the newest version at the time. The upgrade wiped out all posts older than a year old, all avatars, all signatures, profile settings, members picture albums. All pictures that was uploaded to the forums server was deleted. To say it was a mess for a couple months afterwards would be an understatement. After going through all that, I can see why this site hasn't been upgraded.
