The form you're talking about (secure.multiverse.com/mv/joinmv.htm) is just
an email form anyway... although it is using SSL for encryption.  It never
leaves the bus of the machine the server runs on, so even a packet sniffer
wouldn't be able to snatch data from its communications.

The intranet page also uses SSL and then encrypts its output files before
transferring them to a private section of the network.
