For me I just see it as a sign of pretentiousness when you expect me to come up with a 20 character password. Luckily Firefox has a built in password generator now.

Most hacks won't have a practical implication, but a targeted attack by somebody unhappy with your comments might abuse your identity or information the account reveals. Or a forum can reveal information you don't want to have revealed (medical help forums, sexual stuff, ...) And sometimes you are really to leave "child times" behind you, which might reach surface again later. (Say when you get into a political career ten years later and somebody finds your mail address and searches through dumps of leaked data etc.)
