Urgh. We went through a similar problem like this about six years ago, when a small handful of members suddenly started moaning, groaning, whining, and belly aching over not being as popular as other members and feeling they were being treated unfairly by the community for one reason or another: nobody responding to their threads, having their posts ignored, yadda-yadda-yadda; it really became an apathetic (and just plain pathetic) pity party by those who were complaining that MC was a "popularity contest" and they apparently were losing.
Now we're going through another similar scenario, but this time it's involving just one person who feels the need to put on a whole dramatic production about losing followers. So what? I lose friends on Facebook, I lose subscribers on YouTube, so what's the beef? It happens, and there's nothing you can do about it. Like Sarge said, followers really don't mean anything other than to serve as a replacement for the buddy list system we had on the old vBulletin forum, and really, the buddy list system really did nothing either other than maybe put an asterik next to someone's name if you had them on your buddy list.
But if losing followers and such bothers you than immensely, perhaps you should take a break from the internet for a while.
