Hmmm. They say talking to oneself is one of the first signs of insanity…

I just found a year old thread on this topic: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wordpress-mu-or-not-leads-to-404-errors-but-pages-still-load?replies=7#post-14899

So I have a couple of questions for anyone out there:

1. Aside from the ugliness of a core hack, is there any reason my workaround is a bad idea?

2. Has anyone produced a plugin that implements Beau’s idea in the thread above?

Sounds like there are a lot of people with deep integration, so I find it really strange that this is still a problem in WPMU 2.8.4a / bbPress 1.0.2.
