Shouldn't HF have an HTTPS protocol?

It would be more safe then. I notice the address bar always remains HTTP.
this has been asked hundreds of times, do a search before posting.

You can use it here if you want. However it breaks layout because the CDN serves non-ssl content so images, styles, and javascript won't load. In order for me to go SSL I'd have to serve all content which currently is not an option.

There is no serious security risk from non-SSL site usage. Never has even one account been stolen because of it.
I totally agree with you it should have, the other form where i'm user , actually there was such a thing!
That's because this is HF and changes here take ages.
You can use the https:// for the Login then you are save, it's just a Forum everybody can read what you write.
It does. Its just the stylesheets that dont use it.
Lotta blood to let, peace to make, give a fuk about a check
Do some home work researches!

Because HackForums has such a large userbase that people would be sniffing around houses trying to hijack an account that has no real-world value.
I don't middleman any deals on- or off-site. Please don't message me requesting my past services and certainly don't fall for anybody who claims to be me.

After all how much is it worth to buy a SSL-trust certificate, comodo is selling very cheap.

You don't seem to get it.
SSL is meant to be used for valuable information, such as Credit card, Full name, Address, and so on.

HackForums does not have any valuable information in regards to the purpose of SSL.
Read some information about SSL and you might understand why it has no use on HackForums.
