forums and community websites need SSL / HTTPS.

[Robert Townley]

Longtime Linux user, but first time trying LinuxMint. Had some hardware error messages and wanted to post hardware to community.LinuxMint.com. Dissapointed that there was no SSL based HTTPS://community.LinuxMint.com. Furter, no option for HTTPS when registering or signing up for the forums.

SSL certificates are darn cheap from StartSSL.com even for multiple domains. Since this is an open source project, it may even be free. Certificates are often free from many other vendors as well. Hard to take LinuxMint seriously when LinuxMint.com does not take our information seriously.

Another user on IRC wrote "For a computer related website to have no ssl is... regretable and seemingly seriously behind the policestate times."

Glad to see https on both sites now.
