lately ive seen alot of people not using top cymbal felts and no wing nut, any reason for this? more convientient?
I cut my top felts down very thin, to give them room to move and have a pure sound, I did not remove the felts because I don't want the wing nut to damage the cymbal when crashing.
Well the cymbal isn't going to fly away, so why put it there.
i don't use them on my ride so i can get access to myentire bell

I disagree. While most cymbals probably won't "fly away" without a felt and wingnut, a splash cymbal just might. Whenever I experiment with my 8" splash and don't use a top felt and wingnut, it indeed does fly like a bird. I think it really depends on the cymbal and playing style (and no, i am not a basher).
