From the Board FAQ

What are referrals?
The administrator may have enabled referrals, which allows you to be credited for any new users you invite to the forum.

You gain referrals by promoting EN World - Morrus' D&D/d20 News & Reviews Site using your unique referral link. The link you should use as your referral link is this:

http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/index.php?referrerid=232

Each time someone follows this link to EN World - Morrus' D&D/d20 News & Reviews Site and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one. The number of referrals you have can be viewed in your profile.

Your administrator will have more information on any prizes or rewards that may be given out for referrals. Please be courteous when promoting EN World - Morrus' D&D/d20 News & Reviews Site by not spamming other web sites with your referral link just to gain referrals.

I asked this a while ago. Morrus said that the referrals were not being used, at least for now. It is just something these boards support if the administrator wishes to use it.
