Nope. Kind of annoying. I already gave you guys $50 or whatever and I ain't never gonna see one titty from it. 
 Also, if you're going to go with a referral/gift program, there should probably be some incentive for the gifter/referrer, above and beyond altruism.

@Jumanji: The incentive is called being nice.  Maybe that is something you aren't familiar with.

You're being presumptive. Never say never when Shirtless Snide is always lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce/arouse.

@Kyreo: Sure... but referral programs almost universally confer tangible benefits on the referrer. This holds across cultures, industries, whatever.

Most people here have no idea what "nice" means.

I'm glad this is up though, since December is coming up this could be a cool give away thing to start with after giving away weird games to people at random by just asking for their Steam names.

Hover your mouse over it and see what it says. He can't see it himself.

@Dany: No that just means you can buy membership for that person if you like.  I think the person has to have 1000 posts or something like that.

So don't do it. Others might have a friend or relative they want to gift a membership to and there's nothing wrong with that.
 
Hell, I saw someone gift a membership to a complete stranger ( @bigmini77) from Portugal a few days ago who posted about having problems getting his debit card to work from overseas and was looking for a staff person to help him process his subscription. Just for the hell of it. You might have noticed, but people around here like to be nice to each other, sometimes. And if that benefits GB in the process, that's cool.

But I don't have any friends. :(

Also, when you gift a membership, do they get that bad ass new shirt too? I'd totally do that just to give someone that shirt. It's fuckin' cooooooool! Just look at how many o's are in that thing!

Why is it annoying? It's not an order, it's a suggestion. I don't see the problem.
