I have one Referral and I want to know what it is. Did I do soomething wrong? I don't know. A referral doesn't sound good.
It is how many times Satan has received a referral for sinful behaviour. Did you think Deities still lived in the stone ages? No, they jumped on the electronic information highway as soon as it was laid down. That's why 'sex' is the number one google key word. That should teach you to assign the forum monkey the position of reliable information source.

You gain referrals by promoting sciforums.com using your unique referral link. The link you should use as your referral link is this: http://www.sciforums.com/index.php?referrerid=7353 Each time someone follows this link to sciforums.com and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one. The number of referrals you have can be viewed in your profile. Your administrator will have more information on any prizes or rewards that may be given out for referrals. Please be courteous when promoting sciforums.com by not spamming other web sites with your referral link just to gain referrals. edit: yes, this a straight copy and paste from the help section of this forum. It's amazing. They actually have information there on the workings of the forum. Who would have thought that?
I heard it is the number of times the FBI has been tipped off about one's activities on SciForums. Good thing I am still at zero.
