I imagine a better solution would tell the user that they are missing .htaccess, and give them an option to install new .htaccess or ignore it, along with instructions telling them to delete .htaccess if they choose to install it and their forum breaks. I don't know how much harder this is to implement though.

Yeah sounds good, implementation feasibility i'm not sure.
