Hi MentaL.

I would like to adres this issue once more in public, when will we get HTTPS back?
It has more advantages than disadvantages a few advantages.


  • Secure connection
  • Better SEO ranking

So would you please look into this? Thanks!

Who needs it at all on a forum website.


Paypal also requires it for IPN ( ), and other payment processors will begin to require it.

RZ doesn't use PayPal, and if you want to pay for a sub, MentaL sends you a personal request anyway?

As for that google post, who cares. Really.

Is Chrome gonna stop serving non https websites? No. Maybe have an unsecure warning in the URL bar, sure, because they said they were gonna do that ages ago. Still hasn't happened. Not enough websites are serving https for Chrome to even consider that an option.

Personally, I secure all my sites as https because just letsencrypt and cloudflare. But I don't see why it's a big deal.

Unless there is payment gateway integration I don't see a point in forcing HTTPS. HTTP RZ seems faster IMHO!

Xenforo? NO. VBulletin is good!

Man in the middle attack on the login page. Ehm.
