WordPress MU

Hi all,

I've been running MU for about 2 months now, with three whole users on a relatively small blogsite for updating parents, grandparents and friends about our kids.

Two of the blogs are public, so there is some listings on google, etc. if you *know* how to search for it.

As of last night, myself and the other users cannot login at ALL. I can't even signup for a new blog. I get the same 403 error.

Bearing in mind, everything was working swimmingly for two months or so. Wildcard DNSing, etc. has been turned on and was working previously.

I've gone and backed the entire site up, grabbed my latest SQL databases, etc.

I ended up narrowing it down to the Bad Behavior plugin, which I renamed in my mu-plugins folder and everything works again. That said, I installed Bad Behavior for a reason and I'd like to avoid splogs as long as I can, etc. When it is active, I get a link in the 403 message that redirects me to ioerror.us, which has no home page...?

Anyone else seen this before?

error message (should go without saying that the email addy below is mine... and I made one up to avoid any bot crawling spam monsters):
Error 403

BB needs upgrading. See here:

i deleted it yesterday, actually for teh same reason

Problem is: when BB checks the blacklists, it's own list (pointed at ioerror.com) is the one mucking it up.

I started this morning off with a clients site doing the same things. A quick commenting out of that particular list corrected the issue.

While a temporary fix, I haven't tried the new upgrade yet.

If the list the previous version was pointing to was modified so that it would "get your attention", I'm sure not very impressed with the shenanigans.

Maybe it's knows your thoughts of SK2 and is seeking revenge. :)

I shouldn't have watched I Robot this afternoon.

edit: Looks like there's trouble in wp.org land as well: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/96954

reedit: There's a sticky over there as well. I think that's a first with a sticky for a 3rd party plugin.

rereedit: Sure is nice that we can still edit our posts over here for a time after posting.
