Seriously, everyone who is OK with this, go here and look at how many sites have LOST their data to hackers. Search for your email address.

I know you guys may think you are safe if the site hasn't been hacked, but honestly it is just a matter of time. Build in a way to do this pronto.

It's like walking around with no mask on. It might not hurt you, but you increase the risk to anyone not using the site anymore.
