I was so excited when I saw the new deviation counter that incremented as people submitted deviations. I've never seen anything like that anywhere on the net, and had to find out how they did it. Theoretically, it shouldn't be possible, since you can't open a TCP connection between your computer and the server with any web scripting languages, and the HTTP connection is closed when the page is done loading.

So I looked at the code, and guess what I found out?
It's all fake It uses javascript to increment the counter at random intervals, rather than when actual deviations are submitted.

grrrrrr
