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??
