BA has mostly been garbage as far as I could remember after getting back into the FF game. Mostly rehashes of old information or stuff already posted on FT, and credit card promotions I can't use (as I'm in Canada.) I've gotten much more out of FT and the wonderful membership here.
For a while, all I read was OMAAT. I started noticing more and more promotional and rehash material popping up there, but still tolerated it (I was getting sick of the same LH F TRs over and over again though.)
That sad EK Residences Kickstarter was the final nail in the coffin. Now I don't read BA at all anymore.
