Hi!
A long time ago I was a reasonably active player, and I played in two different accounts. Sadly, life made me move on and pursue other things, but I always check in on the project when I can, to see how it is progressing.
However, I am very confused as to why there seems to be no HTTPS support in this modern day and age (where Let's Encrypt is a thing), and the forum is linked to directly through an IP, which seems even more baffling.
HTTPS is important because even if your plain HTTP website has nothing to do with private data, it can be caught in a Man In the Middle attack and used to automatically strip every HTTPS link down to an HTTP link, eventually compromising the users of said site. Since most websites do not implement HSTS to counter this, the only other solution is to progress the web to an HTTPS-only scenario. I believe that it is a social responsibility to keep sites under our control served over HTTPS instead of HTTP, since the alternative is harmful to the users of any site.
As such, I would like to request that the PlaneShift team migrate what they can to HTTPS. I could help in any way that is requested!
Please keep up the good work, and thanks
