The traffic to/from this forum server uses http, rather than https i.e. it doesn't use encryption, so it can be "seen" by others en route. Since it is a public forum, it's not an issue, but you wouldn't want it on an e-commerce site where credit card numbers and personal details are being passed. Having said that, login details and private messages are being sent in the clear, too.
