GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!

*shakes you around a bit*

Vapor.com is not about to be hacked. The page doesn't need to be
secure: you could enter your key into it but that key would be
assigned to you by the form data and Olli would already have it,
and any subsequent attempts to submit that NetConnect key
would fail, since it's already been "converted".

The keys are sent by email to the address you give, just like a
normal registration, iirc. This is an unsecured medium, so if
you suspect that someone is out to get your key I'd suggest
you install security at every router and smtp relay between you
and Olli's hoster before you start whining about how the
NetConnect key (which is unique as unique can be) is being
sent via unencrypted HTTP.
