Well if a sponser offers a 10% discount to forum members and as a result their number of customers increases then they are getting something in return.
If I may use the example of bike clubs/forums - I joined an online bike club/forum, have been a member for a while, attend some rides.
Certain bike shops offer a 10-15% discount if you mention you are a memebr of said club when purchasing. As a result most members of the club purchase from these particular bike shops - i.e. their customer base has grown as has customer loyalty.
Another one is my insurer - at the time of taking out the policy they asked me if i was a member of any bike clubs - i recieved a 10% discount as i was a member of the club, i honsestly don't know what their reasoning is for this but i reckon (besides the fact they are more likley to get your business) that they are saying person joins club = person is enthusiast, enthusiast = less likley to be a di$khead rider.
