It's an https connection, but something must be wrong on the server end. Known issue?

They didn't want to buy an HTTPS certificate from a big company (they didn't want to spend lots of $$$, and they're right), so not every browser knows that this site can be trusted. This proves that computers are mor stupid than humans

Well I won't say that. This just proves that computers apply rules set by stupid humans.

Why does love2d even need https...

Everything should use https

I disagree, browsing https is much slower if you're on a cell phone, which is where I browse the LÖVE forums like 99% of the time.

Number one reason to use https: when you login to a website (like love2d.org/forums), authentication credentials and/or cookies with authentication tokens are exchanged. If you aren't using https, those appear in your http requests as plain text. If you're on mobile and your phone switches to using an available wifi connection and you don't 100% trust it, there is a chance that someone just got your password. With https, they do a tls/ssl handshake first, so that all subsequent communication is done encrypted and the untrusted wifi won't be able to snatch your passwords.

That is indeed good. The "snatching" of passwords can happen over 3G as well, even if it's much more complicated since you'd have to find or calculate the frequency hopping.

Just to drive the point home, last year Lifehacker did a piece on how to crack any Wifi hotspot using WEP: http://lifehacker.com/5305094/how-to-cr ... -backtrack
