Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
I don't know whats your deal....^ three quarters of this thread is a shameful waste of space, thanks for adding to that, and motivating me to add to it with this. Good work, Jack!

Awesome. Since you seem to want a pissing contest:I refuse to post again without it being useful .
PS, the word security is not in my thread, because that's not what it's about.
The site is not secured with a security certificate and HTTPS. This makes this site vulnerable in that anyone who logs in is subject to a MITM (man-in-the-middle) attack making them vulnerable. Other attacks can easily: take the site down completely, hijack files on the site to deliver malicious content, or leak every single users information including the administrators. This is irresponsible and it is my recommendation that the site be secured properly.
It's not necessarily about privacy so much as it is about security.
An example would be that the website could be potentially used as a platform to deliver malicious content to end users. That content could then be used to capture their data, even important data not used on this site, such as credit card information. That is possible because the website was used as a vector to deliver the malicious content on to their computer. Not everyone is educated to the point where they would be informed as to what to look for and therefore have almost no idea it was occurring to them.
Not securing the forum, while of course up for debate,
The degree in which this site in particular operates is up for debate, but the responsible and mature thing to do would be to implement a solution so that the example scenario, and other scenarios like it, may not have a chance to occur.
You seem to know just enough to be dangerous...
I agree. Things like this are best PM'D.
- Thanks for translating Jack's post for me, but he's very very wrong about me
- Russian bots don't have 9 years forum membership - 1 less than you, 2 more than Jack - but who cares...
- Russian bots don't have 10 years open source community oriented site hosting experience/trackrecord
