| speaking as a forkhead, we recently added https to the website, however it requires manually submitting a new Encryption Key Certificate registration every so often. and if you miss it, the site is online but unreachable by browsers without adding a security exception (and only if you're using an old browser which allows you to [Add Exception]). https certificates Expire. they are only valid for a specific range of dates and times and need to be renewed. It's a pain. not all websites NEED to be https. https encrypts the data users enter on the page and the data of forms which are submitted between the user and the server. This site has no logins. the only data you can enter here is search terms, captcha ascii, local upload locations, an anon username (thats not even actually necessary but just so people can track user messages from post to post), maybe an email (optional) and a title and a bunch of text for a subject. None of the Required info that you can submit here is sensitive. you shouldn't be posting your bank account login and password here, nor any personally identifyable information. unless you want to be doxed and raided? I mean.. welcome to the trollpit where it's all fun and memes.. |
