You just need to verify your ambassador status with Bhurbin. It is a painless process.

IDK I'm not privy to FlyerTalk's site traffic. Someone on Facebook linked this article a little while ago that seems to suggest FT has been losing popularity for a while:
https://travelisfree.com/tbt-the-decline-of-flyertalk/ I don't really care which site has the most reviews and data points. I'll go wherever those are. I think for the CC game, there's still a ton of data points on those forums that are useful. For trip reports and reviews, I think FT is not even a top 3 resource for me. It is what it is. If you only trust FlyerTalk reviews, obviously you do not have much of a choice but to only view FT posts.

I personally wouldn't even call them tiny when comparing them to the JJA at STR. Yes, it's significantly smaller than JJA, but it's still not the definition of tiny. To me it's all about nuance. FWIW, people aren't even calling the villas at LM tiny and they are a heck of a lot smaller than the RC villas.
It is subjective. That's their opinion and they shared it on the internet. I don't see why it's such a big deal that their opinion is different from yours...
