This is not a banking site,there is NO sensitive data here.... Why the need to force HTTPS for no bloody reason?? (Just causes connection problems on some browsers)

Sites that use HTTPS for no reason only benefit those who wanna track people....(Google,etc)

Having HTTPS is ok but forcing it IS NOT NEEDED ON A SITE LIKE THIS :)

If someone wants to come here HTTP the site should stay in an HTTP session.....


cellar.org does this (Also VBB) if someone goes to https://www.cellar.org the site STAYS HTTPS but if they goto www.cellar.org it stays http....

Heres a good thread about things like this

What kind of modern browser can't handle HTTPS domains? I don't know much about this kind of thing, but that seems illogical to me.

Dude111 05-19-2018 01:17 PM

They are trying to give ppl a FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY saying HTTPS is secure when the elite can still see everything.... IT JUST GIVES THEM MORE CONTROL!!!!

Frownland 05-19-2018 01:21 PM

Yes. You're being tracked. Welcome to the internet.

MicShazam 05-19-2018 01:22 PM

This is outrageous! I'm quitting the internet forever.

Blank. 05-19-2018 04:29 PM

It's the internet, they are keeping tabs on everyone, and they still dont give a shit about any of us.

i cant see youtube videos now that people post on this site.
can you fix that?
or will this site suck as far as for that part of the site now?

Oriphiel 05-19-2018 05:26 PM

Yeah, pretty sure the admin broke the site when they updated to HTTPS. What a dipshit.

How many of your metal threads are ****ed?

The Batlord 05-21-2018 09:45 AM

A good amount but at least I actually write entries and don't just leave a boring video dump.

Unless this is fixed those posts will look and read like ****. It’s huge blank spots all over the archives. Unless it’s a random drop in the listening now threads everyone tossed in some info. Stating oh I was insightful enough to accompany my vids with indicating text doesn’t change ****. If the old encoding system is restored and the videos reappear then great. But if it’s just like for here on use this way and all that is lost completely ****ing sucks. It’s a deal breaker.

Frownland 05-21-2018 10:26 AM

Give it a little bit before declaring defeat, it's still being worked out.

OccultHawk 05-21-2018 10:30 AM

ok

grindy 05-21-2018 10:54 AM

It isn't. He's just trying to calm the restless natives. All is lost.

OccultHawk 05-21-2018 11:15 AM

That pretty much goes without saying but thanks.

Frownland 05-21-2018 11:32 AM

It might have to do with GDPR.

What does the Roman Senate have to do with anything?

Frownland 05-21-2018 11:35 AM

They're rolling out new internet compliance rules in the EU that affects any site with users in that area.

The Batlord 05-21-2018 11:38 AM

I wasn't aware the Roman Senate still had so much influence.

Frownland 05-21-2018 11:39 AM

You know your joke is based on the wrong acronym right?

The Batlord 05-21-2018 11:41 AM

Yes, genius. That's the point.

Frownland 05-21-2018 11:41 AM

Your point was to use the wrong acronym?

The Batlord 05-21-2018 11:42 AM

Yes, genius.

Yeah everyone's journal(s) will look ****. It's not just that the videos won't show up, it's as Hawk says, spaces that look bloody stupid all over the place. Someone new coming in here will think, what the **** was with these guys? Imagine archaeologists from the future trying to piece together our society without YouTube videos. I'll be damned if I'm going back and replacing all mine with links, but it will look awful.

I don't quite understand that. I mean, we're using videos that are freely available on YouTube, so what's the problem? Copyright? Fair usage? Hotlinking? :confused:

Frownland 05-21-2018 12:10 PM

Youtube collects information using tracking pixels even when they're being embedded on another site. Since the law requires that users opt-in to all forms of tracking, that could be the issue. Still just a guess at this point though.

I see. That's interesting. Thanks.
