FAQs
Q. What made you make the software?
Ans: I have seen people going crazy over pageview scams and whatnots, 'Hey, he is cheating!', and other accusations. I just wanted them to see how many other statistics were there to worry about.

Q. You say you have used complex mathematical tools to arrive at the answer. Could you tell us more about it?
Ans. Of course! The following formula has been used to calculate the index:
index = squareroot{[ (0.5*num_of_deviation_views + 0.1*num_of_pageviews) + (0.5*num_of_comments_given + num_of_comments_received) + (0.5*num_of_friends + num_of_watchers) + (num_of_favs_received + 0.25*num_of_favs_given) + num_of_forum_posts ] / num_of_days_on_dA}

Q. I believe the formula is skewed and/or its too simple.
Ans: In case you do, please leave a comment and we can work out a more effective and complex formula.

Q. I want to use it on my Linux/Mac machine!
Ans: Sorry. The program works only on Windows, that too with .NET 3.5 and above installed. Ask someone to get the score for you. If you can't and/or won't, then just leave a comment and I'll get you your score.

Q. Should this be taken seriously?
Ans: If you must. I'm not going to pay for any kind of bills that you may work up due to use of this software, not for the psychiatrist and definitely not for parties.

Q. I think I might just have found a bug.
Ans: Of course you did! This is just a beta release of the program, so bugs might crop up!

Q. Isn't it too extreme to be sarcastic?
Ans: Well, I've been known to go overboard with my emotions.

Q. Hey mate, isn't this FAQ too long?
Ans: I guess it is. So, this is the last one, I swear.

Don't take it seriously. Its not about the stats, its more about the community.

EDIT: I go out of town for a couple of days and this happens! A Daily Deviation! Thanks to ^namenotrequired and `Gwendolyn12 for suggesting it and `WDWParksGal for featuring it!
