I don't get the excuse 'our servers can't handle it' when those same people browsing ATRL will still continue to browse the same amount -- whether they're signed in or not.
Initially, seeing those guests tweets / videos / etc from the weird ones was really annoying and made me hope registration would stay closed since some of them are truly weird / think they'll 'run the forum' when they get an account. But I know it'd be hell for me if I missed registration, and had to have been a guest for the past 2 years. There's so many discussions,releases,rates, games, etc they've missed out in participating in over a dumb reason. I think it should be opened.
Even if it was just for a day or so to keep the servers on point.
