Would someone please explain "Referrals"?

Hi guys,

When one goes to one's user profile, there is a "Referral" under that followed by a number. For e.g. I have 6 referrals; others may have a different number.

What the heck is this and who does all the referrals??

Beats the heck out of me. I have only 1. My best guess would be that when people join they can list someone that refers them. But then again, I'm full of

I don't remember anyone ever referring me to this forum. I was introduced to the link by our friend, Adrian, and that's it.

Hey JJ....when you go to register as a new user, here's one of the blanks you're asked to fill in.

"If you were referred to this site by an existing member of The Rolex Forums, enter their name here."

I guess if someone lists you as the "referrer" then you get +1 added to your referrals number.

The confusing part is I was never asked this question!! I merely signed on myself.

You must have left that line blank then dude. Doesn't matter. Someone (or 6 someones) must have put your name as referring them to TRF. That's why you have 6 referrals.

Referral is polite for "Tosser".

6 being the highest,0 being the lowest.

Therefore you are the highest "tosser". (In the politest way of course.)
