I didn't even notice it was not encrypted, I thought it was HTTPS all along >_>
Anyway, personally I have no problem.

Having spent the last couple of days reading up on web site security, my jimmies are just rustling over the overhead that https adds. I don't really care for https outside of login pages, I've got to admit.

Ironically, I was trying to find an secure cert for the site. I might add that to the site when I have the time.
Thanks for providing Let's Encrypt >u<

I don't see how HTTPS would make a forum more "attractive" and feeling safer is total BS unless you are safer. I'm not sure what there is to be safe from in any case. Also, 'noticeable overhead' is kind of dependent on what a given individual would notice. I could be wrong but the impact of that overhead would increase with an increased number of simultaneous users. I'm not against HTTPS, but I don't think it's strictly a necessity for a small fandom forum that's pretty darn quiet most of the time.
