Why doesn't hackforums support https? - Automatic Coding - Jan 27, 2013

Simple question, attempting to use https redirects me to http and cloudflare picks up the 443 port:-
https://hackforums.net:443/

There is not really a point of it.
Other than the domain "hakcforums.net" which is for sale on another forum.

It would be a reason to use https ;) - Because hakcforums.net have been used to get HF members accounts.

All denied. Omni doesn't consider it necessary.

Mybb does not support https.
And it's a waste of money.

Omni said there's no point since when you donate / buy stuff it goes through Wixa or something and that has HTTPS

Yep let's all continue to post the same responses. 👍
