Yes it would, in any event you shouldn't use the same password for 2 sites not a big issue here unless you're afraid someone might hijack your HT or likes.
I hope you’re being sarcastic. This site should definitely have SSL. I’m sure people have given personal information to others over PM.
But also imagine a scenario where someone hijacks a trusted user’s account and then proceeds to trick users on the buy/sell board to pay them for nonexistent merchandise. Easy to rack up thousands of dollars from unsuspecting users.
It’s so easy to have SSL seems silly not to have it. Besides, Chrome will soon start warning users that the site is insecure. That’s just bad for Dan.
