Now that it seems like the community has a decent understanding of oFollow, and that it does use an external program to interact with WoW and move toons accordingly, I support the "ban discussion of the product" bandwagon. It's a botting program - just not a very functional one.

BTW, the other site has a similar conclusion - Tim has stated that he believes it to be a botting program and it should not be used.
Owltoid – Note the bolded part of my quote that you left off, and the bolded itallicized part for emphasis.

My question is NOT just about oFollow, but about the NEXT solution that comes along as well.

The fact remains nobody has even made an attempt to see if a generic question about efforts to restore a /follow function would be deemed a violation. Sure any inquiry is likely to get no response, but for the amount of effort put into this thread it would take less effort to make an inquiry - and as I said above there are people on this site with a better reputation/credibility who could make an inquiry with a higher probability of getting a response.
