no reason to pay for an SSL cert for a forum


Well, there is the fact that it means user passwords are sent in plain text over the internet whenever they login... anyone unwise enough to share passwords with other sites is then broadcasting their login details to anyone who happens to be listening, especially if they are connecting over an unencrypted WiFi connection.


That has been the case with these forums since Day 1, even when Westwood hosted them. The fact that I've run these forums for 11 years and you're just now bringing it up doesn't put it very high on my priority list to do the work and pay for.


I'm the bawss.
