I have a page /registration that contains two forms on it.
One for registration and one for logging in. The registration form is one controller rendering, the login form is another controller rendering.
When I load /registration the page loads correctly and the model is populated.
When I click the submit button, the Post action fires and the model is suddenly reset back to it's default state. Shouldn't the model remain populated without having to repopulate it?

There is currently a problem with Sitecore MVC and having multiple forms. I believe the problem is that you have [HttpGet] set to your Index action which might mess the Sitecore Routing. You can check for more problems with multiple forms in this blog post.
