If I tell you how I know, then I have to kill you!

Actually, the original hack author can see it only in his hack threads, but Mods here can see it everywhere.

I use it to gauge whether or not updates and additions to my hacks are warranted. If there are very few installs, usually it isn't worth the effort to add or update the hack with new features. It there are many installs, then it it worth the time and effort involved to update or add new features since the hack is being used by so many people.

It's also a nice way to thank someone who has taken the time to supply a hack and support it.
