What exactly does "Members Referred" mean? And what purpose does it serve? I am credited with referring 8 people though I do not recall specifically referring anyone.

I might be wrong about this but .......

You don't have to actively refer people, if anyone registers by going to this URL:

"http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/member.php?action=register&referrer=<member number>"

where they've used your member number then it will count as a referral for you.

Possibly some people have tested this using your member number (perhaps even Dave) and so this bumped up your referral count.

Probably coincidence, but Han is User 8.

Thank you for the responses.
