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.

It's not like much changed in those 11 years... Sarcasm

It's most certainly not that the use of SSL has risen nor the need for keeping your password secure. Also, I find it quite lame that you're not even responding to my statement that you can get a *FREE* SSL certificate (http://www.startssl.com/).

Then again, it is obvious that security isn't very high on your priority list since the forums still use a (RC) version of FUDForums from 2007.
