Its possible, the hosting provider for the DBB sent out an email recently about their plans to soon supply free basic SSL certificates for all customers so I'm hoping I'll be able to set that up sometime in the next few months.

You can now use SSL to browse and or login to the DBB, update your bookmarks as necessary ( change http://www.descentbb.net to https://www.descentbb.net ).

Thanks Krom. I was getting tired of Firefox nagging me every time I logged in.

Thanks, Krom.

Nice! Does the server use Apache? You need a ModRewrite expression for auto redirect? I can probably write one.
For all users I would suggest installing the browser plugin HTTPS Everywhere.

Nice, and it looks like there is a 301 redirect now to the https site.

Yes, I added that in last weekend to force all traffic over because the cookie won't let you login otherwise.
