Because running a proper SSL connection takes money that we don't have the liberty to spend. The easiest and best way to do it would be to get our certificate through a trusted source like Verisign. I don't know what plan Greg is using from his host, but SSL control is usually done at the dedicated level (expensive) and/or is a feature that the host company provides. Which would also require money on top of hosting fees.
The biggest downfall is that if it's done improperly (we create our own SSL certificate) is that you'll get every single member complaining that their browser/anti-virus/[insert-security-here] is saying that https://www.Omniverse-RPG.com is an unsecured website. That isn't a problem that goes away either. Not easily.
