I had an interesting idea for a UBB hack which I think would be enjoyed by many people, sicne it will allow them to easily grow the size of their forums.
What I have in mind is that UBB would have a special button which would say something like "Reffer a friend" . When a registred member clicks on that button, he will be presented with a form where he would be able to enter his friends' email addresses and send them an email inviting them to join the UBB. Each email would automaticly be customized with the member's referall link, and if the recepient clicks on that link and joins the board, the member will be awarded a Point.
Then, the administrator can view the number of points accumulated by each member and use it as a basis for awarding prizes, etc.
What do you think of this idea? Is anyone up to the challenge of making something like that?
Thanks,
Yevgeniy Leshchinskiy
