Referrals?

I was fooling around and i noticed in my Profile a line like that

Referrals : 1

What is that? and what is it supose to mean? ^^

I was thinking the same thing. In fact I just searched for this answer and found your thread. I also waited 10 minutes for my search to compleat because of these new advertisments that are taking forever to load the page.

These new advertisements will not help people use the search function more often that is for sure.

Doesn't it mean that you referred someone to the site and they signed up on the forums? I don't recall seeing a place to put a "referrer" when signing up though.

There is one.
