I think it would be a neat idea (if easy to implement) if you could browse members by their MBTI. It would be cool to have a quick way to find out who has a type akin to your own.

Basically, would it be hard to implement into the theme/code?

Yeah, I think it'd be better if there was an easy way to be able to search for it, rather than manually compile a table.

maxson, you're ISTJ too?

Well, there's still the meet-and-greet method. As in, unnecessarily browse forum posts looking for matching MBTI and then incessantly annoy your match with the most pointless attempts at conversation.

Agreed. Should have been done back when MBTI was implemented.

Great Idea, I have no time to look through forum posts just to find MBTI types.

I'm not entirely sure if it'll be possible. Will probably require a phpBB mod, like a ton of other features which are available by default in IPB :(

If I (or anyone else with sufficient knowledge) had access to the forum database temporarily, I/we could compile a list of users with their metadata. And then I could put it on my site and allow search by any field. If you wanted. It's not quite the same, though.

Also I could do it manually, but that would take fucking ages unless I wrote a bot or something.

Edit: Yeah, no. The memberlist page doesn't list certain meta, so I'd have to crawl through the profile pages of all 1600 users. That's not going to work.

Edit 2: even if I did do a bot, viewing profiles requires authentication.

phpBB - Free
IPB - $149.99

There's your answer.

MBTI search would provide a great way to estimate the number of spambots in this community. Search for ISFJ, count up the results and subtract four.
Achievements:

Completed N and NReality.
106 N v1.4 highscores.
I used to maintain 1000 NReality Level Top20 Highscores - Ranked 0th

I've taken 10 Metanet 0ths. 6 of them lasted <2 days. I don't have any of them anymore. >:(
Third Place in BLUR 4 highscore.
Not highscoring anymore until v2.

Yeah, but it still needs to authenticate itself as an admin, and I don't think phpBB allows IP whitelisting. AND I doubt that the staff would IP whitelist me for any stretch of time anyway.

Damn, I had always assumed this would be an easy feature to implement. Just a bit of SQL type deal.

Well, if I could get a SQL dump of the users table, it would be a pretty simple matter of listing all the users and their MBTI types on a separate archive or something. Actually that sounds like an excellent idea.
