All my fonts have changed and found that I have to allow cloud services for forums now. Just curious why you have forced moved us to using one of the most insecure internet services?

Don’t confuse “storing user data in the cloud” with “content delivery networks”. Content delivery networks make sure that a service is provided worldwide in the same quality (in terms of speed and accessibilty and load balancing).
There’s currently one cloudfront.net domain (Amazon AWS) which you have to allow in order to display the forums properly, which is:

There is another one which is used by the API services (fonts to be specific):

Btw. I agree with you that storing personal data in the “cloud” is highly problematic, but sadly that’s the way the web goes – live with it or plug off your pc from the internet.

Thanks for the explanation about the difference between the delivery and storage.
I’ll just continue to avoid storing any data on cloud.
