To leave you with no doubt at all, we are not interested in creating another Facebook. It exists already, I just checked.
Velocio-
I do agree that the goal of an egalitarian forum is noble one.
But in real doubt about what you define a valid 'motivation' for following someone?I didn't suggest you were interested in building a globally successful site valued at millions of dollars and have a movie made about it.
Simply that facebook uses gamification and is doing well as communities go
(btw the LFGSS tab is missing a on facebook)

Find the views on gamification interesting.
Aren't common/shared behaviour patterns also defined as 'culture'.
This forum has an established enforced cultural identity
Doesn't matter if you publish a list who is a dick and who isn't.. we are all keeping mental ledgers.
As much as I believe personal identity should be discouraged, group identify should be defined and reinforced, as its really this that attracts and engages members.
I'm not sure i agree that rep is better measure of content.
I find train crashes interesting.. probably the most interesting thing in world.
Whats the problem?
Rep is what people would like to think they find interesting
A train crash tread will not get rep.. but it will get many views.
What about Facebook and its friends/likes?
Working pretty well for those who enjoy it no?
