I am curious.

When Rocket3F was released, it was given a dedicated secure(https) forum. Nvil forum was then moved(relegated) to an insecure(http) sub-directory of samardecs blog. Along with the fact the forum as just been down for almost 2 weeks, I get the distinct impression nvil is being placed to a position of unwanted step-child.

Comments?

Since my first post on thread, the forum has been down 3 more times that I know of. Maybe it will stay up longer this time?

Hay, there was some serious problems with forum, and I was away frome home to solve it. Do not know why but NVil forum resets all its settings to defaults and I had to restore them all manually.
Rocket forum has https because I know how to handl it with joomla, but I do not have anough knoledge with SMF, this is NVil forum.
And we did not put NVil forum away it is just how things goes, couple of days ago we had problem with Rocket https sertificat for a couple of days, this how internet works, sometimes probllems appears and this is a bit hard to solve them when you are not professional web developer.

.....this how internet works,....

The Internet can be an interesting and informative place. For example, a quick search can tell you how simple it is to change SMF software to use HTTPS(change config url), or how HTTPS certificates have an expiry date and need to be renewed/replaced.  ;)

With dozens of nonsensical posts pouring from newly registered users, I couldn't help but notice that our forum recently became a target of a huge SPAM attack.  >:(
Duckducking the possible solution of the problem returned this:
