Here's the typical encrypted Bitcointalk user password.

98% of the users here will not know what the hell that is, nor will they know how to use it efficiently. And the time to crack one doesn't meet the reason to do it.
Exactly. While the data exists and there are some people who would be willing to take advantage of it, the cracking time for a majority of people is just too long for it to be worth it to get into a lot of user's accounts, however for some people they might just want to get into someone's account enough that they'll take the time.

I'll probably be changing up my password, it's about time anyways.
