What are referals in the User Profiles?

What are referals in the User Profiles? I’m just curious because noone seems to have any.

From vBulletin Manual…

vBulletin includes a feature that will allow your community members to be rewarded for recruiting new users to your bulletin board. A user can gain a referral by attracting a new user to the vBulletin forum via a special referral link. A typical referral link looks a bit like this:

Fastest Web Hosting Services | Buy High Quality Hosting

(Where $userid is the unique ID number of the user)

Presumably no-one who’s had the chance has been particularly bothered about it…
