While I might agree there is not a huge amount of value in the forums being https (other than perhaps login - but even there i'm not sure how valuable one password word/identify is for this application; I fail to see the reason in your logic that https is a fake sense of security. While it is true that many it departments are clueless about security and leave their site vulnerable regardless of having implemented https that is not a flaw with https. 

 

Perhaps you have some additional valuable insight you wish to provide on this subject ?

To be fair... there is really no real reason for https. A hyped up fake sense of security. From nothing.
