I helped? Guess I did some work in my sleep.

Anyways, onwards to HSTS and better CSPs!

Uploading to another site, like imgur?

Theoretically, considering imgur is less likely to screw up proper https then some random site.

Imgur is (for the moment) more secure than MafiaScum.

Because HTTP/2 is still not a thing.

Fortunately let's encrypt is fighting the good fight for SSL everywhere.

I don't think you can even get a SHA1 signature nowadays. Don't worry, the encryption is secure.
(Although, note that HTTP links to MS are currently
not
secure, so do be careful around those.)

The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using a strong protocol (TLS 1.2), a strong key exchange (ECDHE_RSA with P-256), and a strong cipher (AES_128_GCM).

Although it seems the certificate is issued to wiki.mafiascum.net, even when viewing the forums.
We have one certificate for all subdomains.

Don't worry, our encryption is secure.
The only thing to worry about is HTTP links.
