Read the code to find out why... but it was the reason why I got banned from userscripts for BOB!

Haha what did you do??
Sherkaner is right - Edthemaster coded the script so it downloads itself to see if it has the latest version...
Every time someone plays a game it gets another "install"...
I thought this was a great idea and I robbed it for BOB... but BOB was much more widely used... and within a weekend it was number 1 and I'd cained their bandwidth (BOB is a much bigger script too)
I got banned (although they don't realise that they've left a backdoor into their site - which I could still update my scripts with) and they didn't accept my apologies!
So I changed my mechanism to just download a simple text file with a number in - which is less bandwidth - but userscripts only accept .js files - so I had to host that elsewhere...
I beleive the old mechanism is still in place - but is hosted by Sherkaner instead now.
