I’m trying to do a search on the old site am am now receiving this message:
The owner of www.grasshopper3d.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
Is this something new? maintenance? perversity?
I get an ‘insecure’ warning, but am able to make ‘exception’
Same here.
OK, then why the scary red letters?
The site’s SSL certificate now belongs to domain 1godspace.com, so your browser will warn that you aren’t visiting the proper site.
1godspace.com and www.grasshopper3d.com are hosted on the same server (or at least the same ip), where GH site deserves dedicated ip or a correctly-configured SNI.

Seems to be OK now. Did my machine “learn” the new location?
It’s a miracle.
As for Chrome, once you chose to bypass the safety notification, you will not be warned for the same site and the same security problem for another time.
Well, I’m using Firefox, so I guess the same bypass policy applies. And I so wanted to believe it was a miracle!
@brian Is there anything we can do about this or is it NING’s problem?
Might be a little off-topic, but: is the old site going to go offline at some point? I would assume yes, and when it does a lot of knowledge will die with it. I don’t know how to go about archiving it but it would be nice to preserve it somehow.
There’s no plans to kill it for the time being, however do note that whatever information is on there will become more and more irrelevant (and eventually just plain wrong) as newer versions of Grasshopper replace the older ones.
If we are going to terminate that forum, I imagine it will be at a point in time when the ratio of disinformation to information is becoming a burden.
We misconfigured the site; NING is working on enabling SSL for www.grasshopper3d.com for us, because Google Chrome is about to start whining about non-SSL sites when you visit them.
