 The client and server version strings MUST be the same!
 They can be used to force clients to hard refresh to load the latest client.
 If the server gets updated it can be restarted, but if there are active clients (users' open browsers) they could be outdated and create issues.
 If the VERSION vars are mismatched they will send all clients in an infinite refresh loop. Make sure you update sketch.js before restarting server.js
