You're safe from heartbleed here, not because we're so uber-secure, but because logins here aren't currently secured with SSL. So if you're sharing the password for this account with the email account associated with your account, or with sites of importance, and you like to frequent insecure wifi connections, you should probably consider using different passwords for your different sites as it is a good general practice.

Just as a notice, I'll be setting up SSL logins for this site in the near future and make sure it's patched for the heartbleed bug before implementing this.
