Killer Hack Idea
 
This might be an awesome hack a number of users are looking for.

When a member signs up to our forum, they also get a referral link in the form of http://www.forumname.com/?membername and they can use this link to recruit new members to the forum. Instructions on this can be sent in the welcome email they get after signing up.

Everytime they refer an individual who signs up to the forum through their referral link, they get $0.10-$0.50 added as a referral commission in a 'revenue' area in their control panel or they get some reward points (once the reward script is ported to vb3).

Might also want to make it so the referred user has atleast 3-5 posts before the member is credited with the referral bonus.

It would be a great and very popular script since a lot of Vbulletin forums are looking to reward their existing members for referring new members to their forums.

Also thinking maybe this will allow a forum to build up something like a social network, ala Friendster.com....where you can be linked to your referrals, and your referrals referrals!

contact me on AIM: czarkazm2 or PM me if you want to discuss further

Doesn't make much sense to me.. Doesn't this basically already happen, since when the referrer sends someone a referral, it keeps track of who referred who. Thus just leaving with a hack to give certain rewards for each referral correct??

I took a look at your hack over here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=64469

That basically does the trick, but the problem is that the way vBulletin has it setup, getting a referral is a bit too cumbersome.

I'm more after an affiliate referral type script:

Basically, when a member joins, they get a URL like www.forum.com/?username.....they can pass that along to all their friends, and when a new member visit the forum using that link and signs up, the referrer gets real money credited into their account, which can then be paid via Paypal, or used to buy real stuff.
