Did anyone ever make a site which allowed DBers to register and upload a profile with skills etc etc to add to a database. I remember being involved in this thread about a year back where we all concluded it'd be cool to have a site where you can browse through people, see their skills and contact them to ask for help.

Did that ever get made?

Insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

I dont think so actually. it would be like a freelance game developers listing found in many other multimedia fields when your choosing an artist for a job or assignment.

eh...
I never heard of that. I'm currently working on something like that to add to my site...but I'm doing it all manually. (I don't know how to let people submit thier own profile)

Maybe someone else remembers.

Ahh fair play. We're finally getting onto PHP etc this term, so come march/april, I should be able to make those sorta sites if need be, or help people such as Megaton to make em.

This is kinda related to my last post about respected developers. Would be nice to be able to browse DBers, their profiles and their works.

It'd be kinda like selection your mercenary in a turn based action point type game.

I'll take the nutter with the big machine gun please.

I think it's been tried before through some the off-shoot forums/portals. Rich could prolly work somehing into here. Hmmm, perhaps link it, to the code base system or something.. I.e. Votes = Hight Ranking. It can prolly already do that anyway

Well, if he expanded the profiles for each member to include a few more key things (like maybe a pic, age, skills list (you could select from predefined drop down boxes), links to completed works etc) and then made those profiles searchable, that'd be sweet.

So basically, more detail in profiles and some sorta section where you can browse and search em.

But, it only has like a dozen or so entries.

yea I was going to include that, and the "list of known composers" to put it into sections. For example:

3d modelling:person 1, person 2, person 3
programming:person1, person 2, person 3

you get what I mean? Each person will be a link that leads to his/her profile.

I made a suggustion in the general talk area for forum improvements about adding a more in depth profile with stuff.

I'd really love to make a database with most everyone in the forum, only problem is that it'd take a lot of time and trouble of contacting people. Maybe over Summer Break I could work something out, but I wouldn't guareentee anything.

Would be easiest if Rich added a thing to our profile to list info. and then those that listed info. get added to a list or something.

seams like if people voted we would end up with kids having little popularity contests. I dont know about you but I would discourage that sort of behavior. I think thats why we dont have postcounts.

I cant ever see it being that used or usefull. Would do more to inflate egos than anything else. (isn't that pathetic )
