I'm no native english speaker, so I dismiss irony more than sometimes, but the simple fact is: following "me" needs access to the customer-database, not some scripts which follow postings in the forums and galleries. A "normal user" has (or should have) no access to the customer base-database and has no 7.000x followers in one day.

But I'm gone anyway.

Actually a well written script can follow a few thousand users a second. I'll let that sink in.

This not a case of needing to hack the database, it's using the sites own following mechanisms against the site itself.
