I don't understand your rant.

As a forum administrator you don't have to send out passwords. Nabble issues passwords directly to the user - and you will never know what they are, making them pretty secure. You can make any area of your forum private and require password access for it. All this is handled by Nabble. You do not need to become involved with the issue of passwords.

The Internet is much like snail mail and telephones. Ultimately, just about everything can be opened, listened to, copied or recorded for later analysis. If you are involved in some activity that is so sensitive that no one should even have the possibility of decrypting it, then you probably shouldn't be using the Internet.

Please explain your concerns in more detail.
