Belgian researchers have found that WPA2 encrypted WiFi can be compromised by a hacker within the proximity of the WiFi allowing WPA2 encrypted data not secured by further encryption to be compromised.

This basically means that websites without ssl encryption can be snooped on. Including this site. Compromised information could include passwords, etc as well.
Given that a lot of users of this site are anonymous and could be at some risk if their anonymity were to be breached and given that WiFi is among the most common ways the internet is accessed AND given that people on the forum can often be in relationships with turmoil and in conflict with potentially snooping partners with access to the WiFi router, I think admins of this site should make adopting encryption (https) a priority.
