Referrals - and a contest

[David]

This site tracks referrals. Basically, if you tell someone about this site, and they join, it will give you 'credit' for the referral. It's a little number in your profile page.

So, here's the contest...

Add the following URL to your signature at all the websites you visit, and emails you send. Here's the form of the url:

http://gnawed.com/forums.php?referrerid=1

Of course, to get credit yourself, you need to change the '1' to whatever YOUR userid is. How do you find that out? Well, it's easy. Put your mouse on your own username (find a post you've made), and you'll see a URL like:

http://gnawed.com/member.php?u=1

at the bottom of your screen.. Or, you can always VIEW your profile by clicking on your name, and the URL will show up at the top.

Now, use the number after the "?u=" and insert it into the referral link.

So, assume your userid is 42, you would make your referral id as:

http://gnawed.com/forums.php?referrerid=42

Now, the contest part...

Each month, the top three referrers will get a completely ad-free experience--for free! All the Google ads, etc.. will be removed for you, AND, you can choose your own Custom User Title (mine says "The Magic Man").

Remember, each month, you can try again.. I will find all users who have referrals on their account within the last month, and award the prize to the top three referrers...

So, start referring! :)

Nice idea, David. I like your enthusiasm. I send out a weekly email newsletter to 270 heathens here in the land of Zion. I'll add your link to the bottom of the page and see if it generates some interest. Don't be losing sleep nights trying to think up all these ideas, you need your beauty sleep.:D

I really enjoy this site; and I'd love to see it really grow big and busy with the same basic flavor that it has now. Insightful, thoughtful, witty, etc.. It's worth the effort :)

I've also decided, since this was the first month, to check out the whole referral log.. So, I'm awarding the prize to two more users:

Aspirin99

and

psychomonkey62

Congrats to both of you (and, of course Phrog!)
