Insecure / Unencrypted Logins

[Jake]

Did the cert expire?  Has it always been this way and nobody noticed or cared?  Is Firefox wrong and logins are actually SSL encrypted? 
There are free options for ssl certs to fix it.  Unencrypted plaintext password submissions are pretty terrible.   
Hope nobody uses common passwords.

The site has never had a cert for SSL. This falls into the "I'm too busy to do anything with it" bucket given nobody else has offered help with labor or finances to keep this site and forum alive for the last ten years.

I know we'd talked about moving the whole thing to Discourse a while back. Would be great to do that and address the security concerns, but I have 0% interest in doing that by myself.
