I've just got one of my friends to sign up to the forums because I always link him to interesting topics and thought he may as well join in our conversations but when he was signing up, one of the questions were "How did you hear about Alienware?".

There is no option for through a friend or any form of referral system. I'm not asking for a reward system because that's what the sweepstakes are for, but I thought it would be beneficial for the forum to know more accurately where new members hear about the site.

Also, if they could mention who referred them after choosing "Through a friend", they could instantly send a friend request on signing up perhaps as notification to the person who referred them that they have signed up.

A very nice idea. I don't think the forum is notified why new members join here. I think that information is kept private for the operators of this site for marketing research. I do like having that as option to help aid them in their research. The instantly send a friend request would be nice but I don't know if they can make one automatically send a friend request.

Yea, nice and interesting idea, would be helpful.

hmm i really like you idea man keep the awesome ideas coming

There's no option for 'word of mouth' or an equivalent? That's what this would come under.

And well done for turning your friend to the dark side, I look forward to terrorising, giving him his cookies.

Defiantly a good idea, would like to see that happen for sure.

I say its pretty good i see no problems in it

I joined so that I could talk about interesting things. Got to say Deceitfultrama lured me in here. My husband was a member way before I was and I would always put my two cents in sitting on the couch.. Hahaha! D@mn you Darcy!!!

Yes that would be a good idea

Homepage on my lappy best thing I ever did was hang around on here lol

You guys misinterpreted this thread. It's a suggestion to add an option in that question through a friend here or some type of referral system.

I still think this is a good idea.

I think it's a fantastic idea, I think it would make it a lot easier to navigate the forums if you were instantly put in touch with the person who lured ya in to our forums.

Great idea, would love to see this get implemented.

Awww, why not a reward system. 1 ARP is more than enough reward. But there should have a limit of "referrals" from one ip so it prevents abuse. 5 is enough.

home page of my laptop, gladf to be here!
