HTTPS.
I've been wondering how come the site doesn't run on it, given we have even a chatbox.
All data is sent clear-text and as such is basically readable by anyone who gets their grubby hands on the packet.
Sure, you could make the argument that no one is discussing anything immensely private in the chatbox and if you are, you're doing it wrong. But in 2017, I feel HTTPS should be a standard rather than a luxury, when even places without logins like Newspaper websites and such run it.
So, HTTPS, when are we getting it? And if not, why not?
