Why aren't AT LEAST the login forms on this site running over HTTPS?

I just signed up so I can ask a question about my motherboard, but I noticed the address bar was not running over HTTPS when I was making the registration. I then inspected the HTML that the form post url also wasn't running over HTTPS.

What's the point of user names and passwords if you're not going to bother to encrypt the data while its in transit. If you're not bothering to encrypt in transit, then why would we trust you to encrypt it at rest? Not to mention the peculiar JavaScript function being ran on post that does an MD5 hash? MD5 being ridiculously weak and broken...

ASUS seems to want to be best in gaming hardware, but can't even deploy a forum and ensure it's protection. I wonder how many users on this forum use the exact same username/email/password combination somewhere else?

Shame on ASUS! It's $11 for an SSL certificate and about 30 minutes of admin time to deploy...

You sound educated and I would like a good ASUS reply to . . . update ?

I will check. As far as I know we run whatever vBulletin provides now, but it used to be a part of ASUS member login which was all encrypted.
