I don't think anybody is crashing anyone's towns? Whats wrong with going to a town when someones gate is open? Big deal, I do it all the time. That's the whole point of the Animal Crossing online play, you can visit anyone's town if their gates are open. It's quite silly having to ask permission every time you go to somebodies town because it makes me feel like I am not welcome in their town. Animal Crossing is supposed to be friendly and fun, not getting booted offline or sent home most of the time.
