Why isn't this forum using HTTPS?

I just noticed that this forum is not using HTTPS, and therefore nothing is encrypted. Had I noticed there was no HTTPS on this forum, I would not have logged in with my account credentials. I'm a little shocked to be honest.

I would very much like to see this implemented as soon as possible. Is there someone I can voice my concerns to, either by voice or email? This needs to be fixed.

The forum itself might not use HTTPS, but the login screen (which is the same login screen used by the Mogstation and the SE Account Management System) most definetely does use HTTPS encryption (I just checked by logging out and then logging back in, taking careful note of the address bar and Firefox clearly listed the security credentials and had the 'https' at the front of the address.

Either way, your password should be encrypted as the login screen is HTTPS even if the rest of the forum isn't.

I agree. Anytime I see a website that is "Not secure" I feel like it's amateur hour. It's strange to see it on a big MMORPG's website.

Whilst it is odd that the forum isn't when the account and log in is, but very much the above. As long as the important sensitive stuff is done over https then it's not wholly necessary to make the rest https.
