So you want a lot of followers?

Just be a mod! Everyone is required to follow you! It's the easy way to fake popularity on the internet! :D

@Surasanji We have some new usrs who have only been here a few days and already have 100 users

@freemo @Surasanji Not for the followers count, but working on the community and helping out is a good thing. Not only good Karma, but you help make the place even better.

Large places like twitter or facebook are much less personal, and people might get together in little cliques.

I enjoyed participating in Forums much better, themed ones which I was interested in. FB has some good groups I enjoyed participating and learning on, but finding information in them is impossible. Terrible architecture, compared to threaded posts in Forums, subforums.
