Hey guys.

I recent threw a little one-liner up to get rid of that big, blue bar at the top of Pinterest that tries to get you to join. I looked at the script today and found that it has over 2000 installs, which seems a little ridiculous for something to trivial.

Are these numbers correct? If so, does anyone have any idea where all of these installs are coming from? My other script is in the double-digits, and I think it's more useful. Thanks!

Re: @RyanGittins:
It is bizarre compared with 16 installs from MonkeyGuts and 12 installs from GreasyFork over the same time period, and no obvious chatter in Google. Maybe it got hot on Facebook somewhere?

Or it count be a counting problem. I assume each site takes a different approach to how it discounts duplicate installs, and the formula might need to be reviewed.

Re: @jscher2000:

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. It's pretty bizarre and I can't find anything linking to it in Google. Even searching just "Pinterest Nag Killer" (in quotation marks) just returns links to its locations in various repositories.

All I can think is that the count is off. Thanks for your input buddy.

OUJS counts every request for the .user.js file as an install. No attempt is made to prevent "duplicate" installs.
