7.x-2.x: Use helper submodule in User Relationships (user_relationship_invites).
7.x-4.x: Use Invite User Relationships - Userpoints: Credit some points to inviters for sending registrations and/or successful registrations. See Userpoints Invite
Modules to extend Invite:
- Contact Importer: let users import contacts from their webmail address books. Appears to be defunct and no services are working.
- Request Invitation: require users who are interested in closed/semi-private sites to first request an invitation.
