Maybe I just have a REALLY bad memory, but I was scrolling down hubbers I follow to see which hubs I fancied reading, and I noticed the very last one. I don't remember the hubbers name at all, his hubscore is 1, and when I went to his profile to check him out, he has no hubs, and 3 followers, of which i am one. Yet he has an accolade for having published 50 hubs I think it was. Anyway, the point is, I don't remember following him, has this ever happened to anyone else? I feel like I'm going mad...it's been a long day...lol
Sounds like an account that has been banned, or someone who has left. If in doubt, contact HubPages directly.
I have noticed a couple of people that I never remembered following too.
You are probably pretty selective, so you'd likely remember?
There are a few folks that I remember following but no longer remember why.... their interests and mine don't overlap at all.
Not that I know of
But who knows it might be a bug or somebody might have found a way to do just that.
Mysterious indeed if that ever happens.
Thank you all! Yes it probably could be the start of a thriller. I have done what I should have done last night and simply quit following him. Thank-you Relache for pointing out the obvious! lol

Have you noticed that the high earners on HubPages appear to follow very few writers themselves?Could it be said then, that it is more important to have a following than it is to follow back other writers and Are we spending too much time commenting at the cost of writing new content?

How does someone on hubpages get a large following without writing hubs?When I am hub hopping, I have noticed that there are many people with little or no hubs and they have hundreds of followers. I see that some of them are following many people and I understand the reciprocity factor but I don't...

I just checked my email and saw I had notifications that I had six new followers. I checked all these and found none of them have any hubs and all joined 4 hours ago. All are shown as following between 80 and 150 people. Has anyone else noticed this sudden spike in followers?

Before following someone, at least you should read his/her hub or profile. I think, there are many reason rather than his or her beautiful face to follow him/her.

I am still new to Hubpages and have been enjoying a rather successful start. Thank you to those who have voted my articles up and those few of you who have begun to follow me. But I have noticed one thing of late and maybe it is the way it goes but I think it is disrespectful. I have commented on a...

I've just reached a landmark of 100 followers (yay, me!), which might not seem like much, but it's built up pretty slowly over time, and I've made sure to interact with everyone I'm following regularly (106 now), checking out new hubs, etc. It made me consider an interesting question:How do...
