When I click 'sign up' it takes me to an 'about page' with the sign up form in the middle below a little explanation of the site.
On my notebook with a resolution of 1024x768 the form is actually below the fold in Chrome (I have a double row task bar).
I'd put the sign up form above the fold as the main focus of that page as that is what users normally expect from clicking on the 'sign up' link.
Would unique email addresses for each service have helped your situation at all?
For example:
Facebook email: [email protected] (forwards to your real email) Facebook password: password1
Hover email: [email protected] (forwards to your real email) Hover password: password1
Bank email: [email protected] (forwards to your real email) Bank password: password1
If any of those services get hacked (and the passwords are stored in plain text) then there's nothing connecting those accounts to each other since the email addresses are all different.
It's the system I use (along with 3 tiers of passwords not just 'password1' as used in the above example).
