I am on the same boat here. Actually I didn’t upgrade to 0.8.3 because of Forum Restriction breaking. I already have some sections of the forum pupulated, which need to be hidden from the general user, so upgrading is just not plausible for me right now. I am using it in conjunction with Private Forums plugin (which feels much better to me). If that plugin could be integrated with Roles it would be the best solution by far.

I am at a dead end for now. I can’t upgrade WordPress to 2.3 because bbPress breaks, and I can’t upgrade bbPress because I would be opening some important forums to everyone.
