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.

I thought it was disabled. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

There is sensitive info on here in the form of emails, and since this site doesnt use https, all usernames and passwords entered into the login field are sent in plaintext. I dont mind using http, but the option to use https would be nice as that greatly reduces the chances of a sucessful MITM attack.

Mases doesn't care about the forums.

Woke up this morning to learn that my home city was experiencing snow and the biggest thunderstorm it has ever seen and I had been miles away. I would have loved to have been there for that

My extreme homophobic and trangenderphobic coworker who seemed to have make it his issue that my sister ceci used to be my brother. He is taking it to the extreme with his snarky remarks how my brister (brother/sister combination) used to be my brother. Calling her The thing, IT, Your fake sister, oh you mean your brother. The worst thing is he rides with me to work and he is trying to demand me to drive him from spot to spot. This coworker needs to be kicked in the face.

Geez, Vanessa, that's horrible. Isn't there anything you can do? Do you have a human resources department or something that could help put a stop to this?
He works for a job agency and gets hired. I don't know yet whom to talk to about this at the main department. But I do think about taking action because this is really getting out of control. Especially because it's none of his damn business and my family is not his.

My band director didn't give me a big leadership role that I have been working towards for the past two years. Now it's my senior year and I won't get that chance again. :(

The fact that I am the only one in my family who legit cares, about who our ancestors were half the time.
I had to do all the research myself, since they couldn't be bothered telling me anything....

I was recently made a supervisor at my job (officially), but tonight was awful because I was working with high schoolers and none of them were taking me seriously. They never did before I was promoted, but even now they still don't. It was one of the most stressful nights I've ever worked because they didn't listen whenever I told them to do anything, or they'd do it ridiculously slowly and we'd fall behind on our tasks.
