Xenforo 1.5 has the support for optional 2fa, we are currently running 1.4.8. Still awaiting that customer account info from Mases to be able to update the forum.
I'm sure you already know this but security on the internet is really just a resource game. Given enough time, or enough money any attacker can and will enter any system. If you don't want it known, don't put it on the internet. This especially goes for smaller websites or online systems that aren't owned by huge companies with millions of dollars and security experts behind them.
Security is obviously important for any website, but I imagine Mases' reasoning for removing the https and settling for http was he probably felt that the website, being a video game news site, doesn't hold much sensitive information. I imagine that something was conflicting with https somehow and that's why the easiest option was just to switch to http. That's entirely speculation though, as what he does with the main site in general is beyond the scope of what I'm doing on the forums, I'm not involved there. When I am provided what I need I'll be able to move on xenforo updates anyway.
