Yeah … I suggest we stop everything @dustinmoris and fix the sign up issue.

- User tries to create an account with an email that is in use on the site
- Instead of saying, that email is already in use we should just show “some random error just happened, try again later”
- Or better still, let them sign in and pretend we sent them an activation email, but do **nothing**

###WE WOULD BE SO SECURE BY DEFAULT
