Hi Randall,

Please consider making this site https. Right now it is only http; (s stands for secure), which means that connections to this website is not secured/encrypted. That means it is possible to glean credentials (usernames/passwords), IP-addresses, activity, etc off of the website as we connect to it.

Encryption of connection (https) ensures more Privacy. I feel Privacy here is necessary for people to feel like they can be completely open and honest with each other.

Best wishes,
Sibyl

I'm considering it. But three things come to mind:

1. We don't store credit card or other confidential info.

2. There has never been a Password breach in the 19 years we have been running. We also have a pretty good firewall.

3. The https protocol was created by the NSA and put into the free market, so that government agencies can easily hack those sites.

NVM: thought I'd move it here as it could use a better title and is a more specific question anyway:

I may have to get the https anyway if places are blocking us.
