because the signup code was specific per sponsor, you know which sponsor was connecting with their affiliates.

give some kind of discount, free badges for every X number of affiliates that signed up, etc so that the sponsor gets something out of helping to advertise for the show.

allow models/talent to get in for free. the show needs more eye candy for the affiliates who remember, are like glorified surfers (except the real biz minded ones of course)
