Just so you all know, there is a limit to the amount of members you can follow. I have literally tried following most of the folks in my private groups/friends etc. [b]You will get a screen that says you have reached the MAX limit.[/b] You must remove some from your list for others.
[b]The limit is 100 members[/b]. However, you can have unlimited followers. I'm personally treating the follower system like twitter. Am I using this wrong?

1 ReplyThere has to be some limit from a technical perspective, but the current limit is not a technical limitiation. For now, we picked a small limit because we don't want you to follow everyone. That makes following meaningless. We'll see how it plays out over time and adjust accordingly.

I can see its purpose. The amount of people you can comfortably know[i] does[/i] have a cap. Having a limited number of people to follow makes it easier to maintain the closeness with those you decide to follow, and as well it makes your Activity Page have a fair amount of traffic, but traffic that is manageable. Take the cap off, and suddenly you can't keep up with people you've decided to follow and will likely only read one out of every few hundred of their actions on here.

That's odd. Hopefully the limit will be removed or at least increased in the finished site.

Follow me or be destroyed. [i]Over and over again...[/i]
-
Weird..
-
I wouldn't want to follow more than that.

2 RepliesWell, let's be realistic. You can only follow me and 99 other members.
-
There's a limit? Seriously. I was treating it like Twitter as well. oh well .______________________________.
-
I am disappoint. WHY YOU NO FOLLOW ME!? xD
-
I refuse to follow anyone.
-
That is sort of lame...I have been following everyone that follows me back but I guess now I'll have to be more selective :/
-
And they had to disconnect Halo 2 for this!? Wait a minute...
-
It's probably a good thing. People would go out of control with the following if there was no limit.

4 RepliesTo be honest, I have no idea what is going on. :-)

Hm, teh puma isn't sure what to think about this. He may have to further restrict the "qualifications" he has when deciding to follow a member. :S
-
that seems low.... I think you are doing it right
-
I'm only following the members I like/enjoy. I forgot to follow you, by the way.
-
How incredibly lame. Only 100? Man, that makes me feel like I can only reserve it for the best. Good news is, I'm not sure I know 100 people, so I'm not worried.
-
Oh jeez my activity page decided to notify me everytime you followed someone spawn.
-
But I wanted to follow EVERYONE
-
I guess I'll have to slow down with adding people, I was also adding most of the members in my active Groups. It's a real cool feature, hopefully the number of people you can follow will be raised post beta.
-
Now that's just silly.... Maybe it's just a beta thing?
-
Well that sucks. Kind of makes me feel like it's somewhat of an obligation to follow people that follow you then.
-
Aw dang, i hope this is only something implemented for the beta yo
-
I don't have any followers :( Anyways I don't see the point in following.
-
I'm not that tech savvy regarding how websites work, but I'm guessing that's implemented to prevent a cache overload or strain on the site right? Anyway, that's interesting to know, though I doubt I'll follow 100 people here.
