Is this site vulnerable?

Not a lot of life or death private information kept here but I would be happy to know DT is not subject to the worm or has already been fixed if it is.

DT doesn't use SSL at all, so are we vulnerable to heartbleed? no. we should be safe from that.

DT doesn't use SSL at all, so are we vulnerable to other attacks -- definitely. phpbb does some work to protect your creds as they are passed in, but a MITM could almost certainly grab your stuff on the way through.

All of you should do this anyway, but don't use the same credentials for any site. Use a password manager like 1password or LastPass.
