Site safe again

Finally the administrators yielded and fixed the site certificate, despite that I complained via email several times in he past half year. Finally people can log in again without worries. I also don't know how long this issue persisted because it was half a year ago I wanted to log in again after a long period (years) of just lurking.

For all this time, the https certificate was broken, and logging in via http exposes your password unencrypted to anyone listening. It surprises me that during this time I still saw bustling forum activity, meaning those people either have an unsafe browser (ugh micr-) or knowingly exposed their password.

It also surprises me that I never heard anything back from the emails I sent to the administrator (support@conwaylife.com), an address I found on this site. I hope this is not an outdated address.

The latter. It was of limited concern since I don't reuse this password anywhere else.

Given the hilarious lack of people logging into my account at midnight, I'd say that nobody was planning on doing nefarious deeds anyways.

"ConwayLife" is a KeyWord. This year is the 50th. anniversary of the 1970 Scientific American article.

Many people are doing stuff online to commemorate. Others who are unaware may take note,

and many may even develop a burning interest in CGoL - one never knows.

FireCloud.com re-directs to Armor.com

FireClouds.com is for sale

Fire.Cloud is a "Premium Registration" offered @ $54,537.50 @ the CHEAPEST Registrar, porkbun.com

I own Conway.Life and so I made the sub-domain FireCloud.Conway.Life for FREE

I will be happy to make Moosey.Conway.Life or any other sub-domain

for you or any other Forum members who want to jump into the KeyWord Game.

I was thinking about HumbleTumbler.Conway.Life or just Tumbler.Conway.Life

also Bergers.Conway.Life to show off the Super Soup that I Believe is the

most important thing to come along in 50 years - but I cannot do everything...

( unbelievably, a tiny SEED was distilled from that Soup, by myself and others - anyone can find it,

should we not mention it and leave "a thrilling challenge for newbies" or publish it for the "WoW Factor" ? )
