So, we have https instead of (well, in addition to for the moment) http as a part of the DN. What was the reason for the conversion?

- Personally, I don't think that I would be worried if someone "broke into" my DN account, though it would be a little disconcerting to me, I admit. Do you think others would be more upset about this sort of thing?
- Are we worried about ISPs or other more nefarious types injecting ads (or scams) into pages?
- Is there a reason that we need to be certain that Search Engine Optimization is not putting our beloved http Dink network behind other Dink sites that use https?
- Is there concern with a lack of compatibility with Google's AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages)?
- Do we need to reassure new visitors to the site that they are safe?

Anyway, I was just curious as to what made you decide to do it. Just in case you are wondering, I remain quite grateful for your efforts in maintaining this site, and all the Dink related matters that you have involved yourself in over the years.

Oh, and (for what it is worth) I agree with bsitko that auto-redirect to the https version should probably be the next step.
