Batch creation of users

It would be nice if there was a possibility for batch creation of user accounts. For instance, a script that could read user data from file and automatically create accounts with default settings would be very useful for admins who have to create a large number of accounts (e.g. adding forums to an existing collaboration site, or migration from another forum system to to MyBB).

  1. This probably would be better for a plugin or mod. As not everyone would need it but I guess it would help with people being able to migrate different sites.

  2. You can already use the MyBB Merge System (currently under private beta) to migrate from other forum systems.

  3. I think if we had something like this it would be offered separately from the MyBB package.

  4. Batch Creation would be lot of help, where one has a feed of user accounts.

  5. I think a PlugIn would be nice with this feature. But it must not be a feature of the mybb.
