The forum will be updated to use secure SSL and https will be enabled. The two screen shots below tell the story. I've initiated the process. please email me at
admin@printrbottalk.com if you find the forum is not working as I do not monitor it every day.
thanks

Now all our posts can flit through the Internet as gibberish, and the NSA will need to read directly from the site!
Of course I'm skeptical of this encrypt everything movement...
Does this mean you're switching hosts?

With Let's Encrypt offering free & trusted certificates there really is no reason NOT to enable HTTPS and Dreamhost makes it very easy.
HTTPS connection is working fine here but most browsers won't display the lock icon in the address bar because you're loading some insecure content. Looks like the culprit is wiki_link.png which is included on every page and is hard-coded to http. You should make sure every resource is loaded using a relative URL, or using https if you are pulling in off-site scripts (such as Google analytics, etc)
