I wonder why they didn't let anyone know they were changing domains?

Probably politics - the forums have meant to be moving to a new domain for months now and it's hardly a big secret. If you'd been following #bitcoin-dev on IRC you'd almost certainly have heard about it, probably repeatedly.

It seems they are trying to get https working properly.

I bet they got a new server / upgraded because the old server was slow even for http requests. If they had gone with https on the old server... well... there would be no tomorrow...

1) They still could have let everyone know that they were changing domains. Forums were loading fine prior to moving.
2) They can point sub-domains to a different IP. So, changing to a domain (even though it's not a bad idea) wouldn't be required to change servers.

Depending on the host provider, they could have just swaped the IPs served by each server.
