In merlyn's words, it's better to have a non-functional, secure site than a functional, insecure site.

I have to agree with gryphon on this issue. That depends on your requirements. An intranet server is the perfect example of a case where security may be a low priority but there are others. Many personal sites which aren't meant for a lot more than communicating with family or friends don't have to be too concerned about security.

I'm paranoid about the sites that make sense for me to be paranoid about. Basically, that means the ones that might cause myself or my employer a loss if they were hacked. I keep in mind that a loss could include intangibles such as reputation.
