Most forum softwares makes it possible to follow anyone in a forum. This is like subscribing to the member's account as it will be giving the person who followed the account every details of posts made by the person.

When you follow your forum members, do they follow you back?

I find the follow feature one of the most pointless things on forums. Could be me though.

That's funny. I mostly think the same thing!

I will say that I have a different experience between a user versus an admin. As an admin, I tend to quickly scan all unread content so it's unnecessary for me to follow specific users, and only follow boards (not users) such as questions or community feedback so I can be notified.

As a user in other communities, I like to follow other users. There are usually a few users who I enjoy stalking / reading comments.
 
I follow whoever follows me first typically lol. I don't see the active point behind it. I think it's a feature that has potential, but has not been ironed out possibly.

For example.... Update Status feature could just to be open to those who follow you and etc. You could pick and choose who can see it - that would be an interesting feature!
