Judging from what I have read. While I do agree more sites should have a HTTP things going on
(such as game sites or art upload sites, you know sites where you can actually lose things on and should be secure in the first place). I am still practically gonna say what I said before since this a forum site and not a site where people can lose a lot of actual things (like out of all the things you decided freak out on the most worthless type of account).
You are practically causing some fear mongering because you figured out a
Forum site that is not secure and fearful of being essentially hacked into an account (even though it's been like for years on end). Even though a rule has been set in place about posting private information which includes pms, guestbooks, and so on
(All the way at the bottom if you wanted to know). Plus it's pretty much a rule of thumb for everyone to not use the same password for other sites (or even share them). Parents are even teaching their kids this because sometimes the most secure sites with HTTP actually get hacked into and get information as well (not because they were on a insecure site, but because people would know how to actually hack). Not saying HTTP is pointless, just saying it's more secure, but not perfectly secure.
I just don't know why you're bringing it up now, when I believe most people know these simple things and it kind of doesn't really change a thing. Or really why you're using your alt because you kind of got not nothing to lose unless you posted way too much private information via pm, but I thought you would be able to follow that rule at the least.
