I recently found out how the friends system work on Codeforces.

First I thought there would be some friend request and then accept system, but there is not.

It's simply a way to stalk someone ;)

Gentle Suggestion to MikeMirzayanov : The "Friend of" should be changed to "Followers" . So that it will show something like "Followers : 43,611 users" . As "Friend of: 43,611 users" is giving wrong interpretation that tourist is friend of that many users ;)

What are your thoughts ?
