In theory your password could get lifted, and any text you post could be intercepted. Google ranks you lower if you aren't encrypted. But the price many hosts rip you off to provide this is dumb. There is a free certificate site called let's encrypt that can be used for those that don't want to pay the hosting companies ransom.
Thanks for the explanation, good luck with the process.
For my part, I don't use passwords on forums that are the same as anything important in my life such as financial institutions. It never ceases to amaze me that people will use the same password everywhere.

Yea presently without HTTPS, Badweb sends your login and password in plain text over the internet, you can easily read it using any sniffing program. As Badweb doesn't collect credit cards or other personal information it isn't a huge issue, but you shouldn't use the same password on Badweb as you do elsewhere.
