No, but from what I remember, Xenforo have limited the following/followers to 1000, as prior to this, people were reporting getting 'Out of memory' errors when trying to load the list. Therefore, it is not in Cyp/Crews hands.
I've never experienced that, one of my pals on another server seems to follow a little over 9,000 people, but seems to have no problems. I would if I could ;-;
I'm in the middle. Maybe a higher bump in the number of people you follow, like 100-500 people, I mean, a small increase wouldn't hurt, but over what I said, that would be pretty insane, because by like 2020 (if you do still play Mineverse) you'll be following like 10,000 people, and all you see is your computer crashing from an overload of people.
