I agree that what works for one site won't always work for another. This isn't about "borrowing" a design though. I'm just curious why pre-join pages in our industry seem so standardized and why there is not really any cool stuff happening.
It all just seems very cookie cutter, albeit with different colours and images. There just isn't anything there that makes me go "Wow, ok! Now THAT'S a sexy join page" ...
