That warning is mostly from 5.x where you had to paste in code due to the limitations of the theme system. I should probably take that off now that 5.x isn't supported anymore. It's really not that complex to set up. If you want the full forum experience, you need a bunch of helper modules but AF itself is pretty simple.
