What do you guys think about making your followers public? I think it adds a little too much of a popularity factor on the site, similar to titles did in the old site. I think it works great for social networking, but for the general use of the forums, I think there should at least be an option to make your follower number invisible. Those who don't have a lot of followers may not want to display the number and those who have a lot may also want to keep that info private to avoid pre-judgement.

The amount of followers or the title you have shouldn't matter and if people try to judge you because of it, just don't let it get to you. People should recognize you by your attitude and post quality. I haven't ever recognized someone because of the title they had, I recognized them because of their post and threads around b.net. If you don't have a ton of followers don't be ashamed, you're still cool to me.
