    Not Secure? And deletions?

    I remembered today that I had this account. I am getting warnings that this site isn't secure.

    If someone deletes their account, does every post go with them?

    Re: Not Secure? And deletions?

    PF does not at this time use HTTPS. This means that if someone between you and PF is able to monitor traffic then they can read your communications with PF. We will hopefully upgrade this at some point but in the meantime be cautious with your interactions with a web forum (honestly, people should do this anyway and with sites vastly larger than PF), don't use the same password on PF that you do somewhere particularly important (or start using a password vault and give every site its own 20 character randomized password that you don't need to remember because you have a paasword vault for that crap) and start using TOR or a VPN (do this anyway, provided that the VPN is reputable and not compromised or that the endpoints aren't compromised in case of TOR, either one will net you all the encryption bennies of HTTPS along with the ability to spoof your location).

    Account deletion only removes prior posts if Admins directly tell it to. We don't like deleting accounts let alone deleting posts en mass except in reaction to spambots but. It is possible if Juni approves. If that's your goal the PM Juniper directly.
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
