There are a lot of reasons I like this idea:

- It'll generate additional pageviews.
- It'll reduce the amount of code a player has to load to play Nevergrind.
- It'll allow me to put some ads on the leaderboard, without them being "in the game".
- It'll make it easier to monitor the leaderboard while playing the game without worrying about double login warnings.
- It'll make it easier for me to track how often the leaderboard is checked.
