Oh, and before I forget, why the need to "sign up"? Why is that a
requirement? If you're doing something that at some point could be
deemed subversive, why would you maintain a list of members of said
activity/thinking that can easily be requisitioned or compromised?

Why does everyone need everyone else to sign up and hand over
information in order to use a simple website? Why does everyone want to
lock up everything behind a login-wall?

Maybe that's the big problem... Everyone thinks that you need to
maintain a list of users and a login form in order to run a simple
website...
