Tom, I just followed you to make up for it. Mind you, I thought I was following you already but... eh. To be honest the follow feature seems to be completely and utterly useless. It serves no purpose, and the blue bar next to threads? I can honestly say that unless somebody just mentioned it in a thread, I have never once noticed if a thread had the bar or not. It's so out of the way. And I have never gone on the 'activity' page... eh. Followers seem more like a 'Your posts are entertaining and I want you to know that' type thing rather than anything that serves any real purpose.
