It would be very nice if this site would be reachable
also through HTTPS, not only just HTTP.
People who need to use a series anonymous proxies or
public WiFi to access the internet, may sometimes
fall to the victim of automatic forum account stealing
spam bots running on the proxy exit nodes, which
have a very easy job if the connection is plain HTTP,
so it is better if the connection is encrypted, as it
will reduce forum spam, and it will be less probable that
poor unlucky users will end up with automatically stolen
and then of course automatically banned accounts.
By the way, if you have trouble getting a HTTPS certificate,
you can get one at zero cost, from the
Electronic Frontier Foundation's Let's Encrypt project.
VNDB also uses that certificate.
Just a suggestion :)
