Website security updated

[¥FOXES¥ PoN]

Howdy folks,

Since the launch of the forum we've been running on the rather archaic HTTP protocol without the extra security layer, like in the old days of the internet. While this may work perfectly fine for a lot of people, it may become a security risk as data packets are not encrypted, especially when using insecure networks such as public Wi-Fi hotspots. Also, most browsers display a big fat warning when trying to join a website that isn't encrypted, and warn you that your data could be stolen by attackers. Especially now with data breaches all over the news, we should consider your privacy a big priority.

That is why we are here to announce that we have updated our website security to modern SSL/TLS standards, which means that from now on our website uses the more secure HTTPS standard. Your browser should display that your connection to the website is secure with a valid certificate authorized by a trustworthy authority.

We've also updated our databases to PHP 8.2, which should come with increased site speed and security, as far as we're aware.

Take care and see you on the battlefield!
