Will this site ever be protected by an SSL certificate?

It's well past time to move this site off of HTTP.

That’ll involve $$ and a bit of time .

I don’t suspect it will ever occur

It doesn't have to involve money. SSL certificates can be had for free.

I like letsencrypt but it looks like rccrawler.com is hosted with GoDaddy, they'd be better off moving the site somewhere else in my opinion (https://certbot.eff.org/hosting_providers/). Not sure what the mods have looked into already.

LetsEncrypt is fine. I've found that while their cert is good for 90 days, it was best practice for my Ops team at the time to script it to renew every 30 days, and catch errors and then ping us if a failure occurred. That way we had a 60 day window to resolve the issue.

Thanks Badger for getting the new forum SSL secured.
