Of course, any neill Breen movie will be gold

Not sure if this is all, but looking at the mod log that you can see on any community these seem to be the options:

It took me trying five different sites to join. Two asked for an essay, and neither have responded a day later. This is not tenable.

I’m a dev, and from the statistics I’ve gathered form abandonment is the largest factor towards failure to take an action. Having a form fail, having to “apply”, or having a failure message makes people leave. We have to fix this problem to allow for better adoption.

There needs to be some sort of central system to join. A site whose sole existence is to house an app with four inputs, and a button. Username, password, confirm password, email, and sign up. After this it should take a list of sites that volunteer to take users, and randomly place them into one. If it fails, or takes too long, it should try another. It should then inform them of the site, email them, and finally redirect them to the site logged in.

This would be difficult to implement as it requires these sites to allow third party sign ups but this would solve the form abandonment problem. Allowing this would also allow for apps to do the same.
