Missing BA's? (in General)

I saw a message somewhere in the Forum, but I can't find it again. But, this message was about this guy who was missing some of his BA.
I would just like to know if he has found out why he was missing them? (If anyone here was reading that message?)
I also have another question: Im a new player, how many BA does a new member get, and how often?

Sorry, have a correction: That last question, just forget about it! I get BA every 10th minute... Sry :)

To begin with you get 10 BA every 10 minutes, as your PR gets closer to the top characters though you will get less, down to 7 BA every 10 minutes.

Also as for whether or not that guy found out why he was missing BA, I couldn't tell you because there is usually someone complaining that they lost BA and there's too many of these people for me to know who you're talking about, but it is usually a missed botcheck that stopped them getting BA for an hour. That or they went to the store which also takes BA. Or of course they are just mistaken. 'Disapearing' BA is very uncommon, I'm not entirely sure it has ever happened.

I miss my BA's too - once I use them, they go away :(

Mr. Chuckles I believe this was Shockwave miss reading my reply to "Shouldn't this loophole be closed?". In fact I would say he never actually read it at all. I haven't seen anyone else complain about missing BA. However, I made a reference on how you could lose more BA rather then gain some when trying to use a trick/loophole that Tyr thought he had discovered.

Maybe Shockwave was referring to this one http://www.carnageblender.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=001S0Y
