hi!

this is just a public service announcement regarding account and internet security, as concerns have been raised about the lack of use of ssl in this website

it's pretty simple to maintain a secure account and private network activity on any website, including ones that use ssl; following the simple guidelines below should help you maintain a secure presence on the internet:

1. use strong passwords - combine passwords with many characters and combinations of words you might remember

2. use passwords that you don't use anywhere else - although this requires more effort from your part, it's generally highly recommended to use unique passwords on all sites; password generators can help you store strong, unique passwords for this site but also other sites

3. avoid open networks - most mitm attacks occur in open networks, where passwords and confidential data are stolen

4. use virtual private networks (vpns) (and not the free ones) - you can further encrypt and secure the data you send to all websites by using a vpn, as well as prevent your isp from tracking (and selling!) your network activity and browsing habits

hope this helps
