You make users sign up when they need to. No user in their right mind will sign up for something they are unsure of. Force the user to sign up when they have made the commitment with content or incentive as they use the site.
If you look at Tim's http://begfor.it as you indicated, the login is still hidden except a button. And there is no way a user can sign up until they have made the commitment. No new users will come to a site and click on Sign In and sign up to the site.
I think you believe that if there is a sign in / login / sign up in a very big prominent way, people will sign up. That never happens. The sign up strategy is based on the investment that the user has made and it is dependent on at what juncture you ask the user to sign up or sign in.
If your goal is to gain more users, sign in / login is still secondary.
