I fear that exiting the site on incognito without logging out first would accumulate logged in sessions that I can't do anything about anymore, and I fear that this might overload the server in some way.

For the record, I used to never log out, but right now I've probably done more times logging out first than just closing the browser right away.

I'm not one of them hoity-toity webdevs, but I'm like 87.4% sure that the session exists as a cookie or cookies on the client side, which incognito mode by definition should be deleting upon closing and has no effect on the server either way (apart from possibly updating a "last seen" database field or somesuch, but not taking up any additional resources).

I can see that's how it works with the "Remember me" or "Keep logged in" checkboxes. But the few times I forgot to log out of dA and FA, I could still see the previous sessions when I logged back in, that I could then thankfully log out in the current session. I don't know if e621 works the same way (probably doesn't since there's no session management settings), but I'm still just gonna log out every time just in case. Thanks for the theory anyhows.
