Would I be able to become the OP for this thread since the member who has it is banned? It needs updating since we have the album cover and now a promo single http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=680004
I find it kind of unfair that Taylor's album thread + base get shut down every time the album/leak starts hyping up.
I hope, for future releases, the mod squad is strict as they're being with 1989's release.
It's not so much the leak as it is the traffic that comes with it. If ATRL becomes too slow then we can't even moderate anymore. The Red era also crashed the server a few times.

We will be and we have been.
Need I remind you that it was an entirely different leak - ARTPOP - that resulted in immediate short-term bans for posting a link? Our policy on leaks is evolving with time.
If you are worried about traffic then ban guests but that doesn't mean punish us members and leave us with no place to talk about Taylor's album. That's ridiculous.
It's not fair to be mad at the mods and be messy closing the rest of the Taylor threads this time, it's not like anyone doesn't want the site to be more visited and have more revenue, but if the server can handle it, then we have to wait

We aren't admins and we're not the ones who can shut out the guests.

I know this already, however, if it was planned and done before for other things that we all know would cause a lot of traffic and possibly the crashing of the site, then there's no reason as to why it couldn't have been planned and accommodated for for this particular event.
