How hard would adding SSL to the site be?
#3
Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)* are not really appropriate for a multiuser platform. A more aggressive firewall and some other security features used to identify and reject "improper" traffic might be a good idea, but, as Warren noted, who pays? They are far from free on an open server hosting a bulletin board service.

* Actually, SSL has been replaced by Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is similar and equally inappropriate.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
