Description Jay Turner 2001-06-18 19:45:34 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Both the /join process as well as simply logging into the site should be
done via SSL, as otherwise it is quite easy to sniff the packets, thus
retrieving both the username and password of the user.

Still an issue.
Comment 2 Jay Turner 2001-09-28 15:37:48 UTC 
Yep, still there.
Comment 3 Tom Lancaster 2001-10-09 00:40:32 UTC 
This solution depends on a resolution to the issue of what to do with banner ads
when a user is on ssl. In talking with Rob Byars and Aragorn we decided that 
no doubleclick ads would be displayed when people were using ssl.
When the component for this is built, we should be able to move back to using
ssl for login and once logged in.
