I'm with j44ke (and want to make clear I immensely appreciate the work you guys out in to keep this place running), but Facebook has an extremely poor record of privacy issues and data mining (remeber that on Facebook the product is you).
To the point that FB will track your activities on other websites through the "like" buttons an what not. My vote would be to keep most of it out, although I already run a couple of plugins to disable their tracking. Why would you want to enable https for the forum, just to turn around and give access to a company with terrible records of respecting that privacy.
FWIW my qualifications: programmer, web tech and
EFF supporter (web equivalent of the ACLU).
