It seems to me that connection via https isn't possible at this point in time, that or there's a problem with one of my ENs. Assuming, though, that its not my fault I do believe that this needs to be sorted out asap due to the nature of this forum.
Understand that access to basic encryption is necessary as it can be used in even the most obscure circumstances.

I agree in the top priority, although did Totse.com ever have one? I never used it if it did, but to each his own I guess.
Everything should come only after the main page links are back in order after they got fucked up in the server switch and folder change. I can't recruit until that happens and I could pull at least 1,000 by the end of summer from places I upload warez to.
The VBull is as good as done, I'm just waiting for the last $20-$25 so I can say last post
SSL in a nutshell for anything you use just encrypts the connect between your computer and the host. Nothing sent is encrypted but what it does is, the server sends you a verified SSL certificate that has been certified by say, Verisign. Verisign is an authorized retailer of licensing SSL certificates. When you log into HTTPS (SSL connection) it's literally like logging into a different website which is why for some sites they don't do it because it can be a pain in the ass to set up and maintain, but that's beside the point.
You request HTTPS Server (Totse.info)
Server sees your request and sends you a verified certificate (SSL Cert)
You choose what you want to do with it (Accept/Decline/Auto Remember)
The Certificate shows you that the website you are connecting to is legitimate for whatever purpose it was meant to do and gives you details about the website so you know what you're getting.
Once SSL Cert is recieved by you, everything you do on that site is completely encrypted, all actions, what you download, etc.
The only thing that ISP's can see for terms of Piracy/Bit Torrent/Usenet/etc. is how much bandwidth you are using, not what you are actually downloading. For websites it's the same thing. They wont be able to see log/monitor your traffic on that website. Only ones that know who you are is your computer and the server you are talking to. If the server you are not talking to doesn't keep logs of daily traffic you are pretty much anonymous.
That's a general break down. If you want to Wikipedia the rest you can learn more, but that gives you a basic run down so you know how it works.
For sure, add it to the list. Its definitely top priority. In fact, it was one of the first things I noticed about this place :P
That makes sense, cheers.
