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.
Thanks to =Shirei-Shou , ~Chibinu , and all others for their bug reports!
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!

if your online status is hidden it does that.

It's not. *Nothing* is hidden. o3o I can't explain that any clearer. xDD

Your full pageview graph is hidden to me.

It's not working for me, it freezes immediatly at the beginning of data calculation process (it can't go past the first 3 segments of the loading bar)
Firewall disabled, and it doesn't work with any of my friend's account (same issue)

Have you extracted both the files to a folder and then executed it? The exe requires the DLL file to work!

There are 482 comments on this, so forgive me if someone has asked this already. But when I try to pull it up, it tells me that it can't because my "secret stats" are hidden and that I should re-enable them and try again. I don't even know what that means! D:

I didn't think I had anything hidden. The only thing that's hidden is my gender and age I believe.

Mine is stuck on "Calculating Data" I used 7zip to open it. Do you think that makes a difference? Otherwise I'm not sure what I misses.

I don't think that should be a problem. Try extracting both the files to a folder and then running the program.

Ok, I'll try again, thought that perhaps you had developed it with a special sequencing for that unzip program. Thanks man!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I repackaged the whole thing in the latest version so there is not an issue of a DLL anymore. Just download it again and use the .exe as it is!

Works like a charm, great job man! I love it. Got a 5.47 Commoner, but hey didn't expect too high of a number, haven't submitted much in the last year, just browsing for the networking lately it seems. Well worth the Daily Deviation.

sqrt(((0.5*184419)+(0.1*24590)+(0.5*(16035+8754))+(0.5*(195+214))+(0.25*4826))/897) = 10.9968 ?

I think I've found an issue with the way it processes some names on DA. It doesn't correctly annalyze names that include hyphens such as :devino-deidara-tag-tean: or ~pirate-o-night-mif Perhaps when you work out all the kinks and re-release it this issue might be addressed so I could see my results too?

Yup. There seems to be a problem there. I'm on it.
