Good question Stuartk. 
I'll start a thread on the issue so we can discuss it, but really its for Stuart Mills to explain. Anyway here's my understanding.
First lets view what the official statement is on MEV's website:-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is the intention that this will allow perspective buyers an overview of the pleasure and enjoyment to be had of building and owning an MEV product, while giving MEV vehicle/kit owners/builders secure access to a detailed structured technical section where they will be able to openly discuss any concerns and issues, seeking guidance and clarification from both the manufacturer and other owner builders.
It is hoped that over time the technical section will grow to give invaluable information and advice that when combined with the various MEV build guides will ensure the builder an easy and successful build.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think reading between the lines that its MEV's way of being able, on mass, to disclose detailed proprietary information to its customers, while withholding it from its competitors. Such things as utilization of the Ford ECU. It is also the intention to post the various build guides on the forum to ensure the latest version is always accessible.
However I hope that Stuart Mills will elaborate on his reason for Password control in the future.
