From the How it Works tab of the link I already posted:

Duke Stars are typically offered on a forum thread when the original author of the thread wants to encourage active participation and solicit timely answers to their questions. Not every forum posting or thread will offer the opportunity to earn Duke Stars.

When a user starts a new thread, he has the option to offer up to 10 Duke Stars to respondents. Forums users earn Duke Stars for their own account by responding to threads that offer Duke Stars as rewards. The thread author determines which response merits the reward, and has full discretion over which respondent is awarded the Duke Stars. The thread author can split the Duke Stars amongst the posters whose answers he found most helpful, but cannot award himself.

I've heard that if you get 500 or more, you can redeem them for beer and pizza.
