As a side project I started poking at the player and tribe files for ARK unofficial servers. I wrote up some code to parse them, and in turn have created this site (with the help of some of my college buddies) to display the data:
www.arkagainsthumanity.com/
In addition to the data parsing I'm doing, the top-most navbar has some helpful links to places I typically end up searching the forum for.
Do note that this is still very much a work in progress. A lot of the back end stuff is just JSON files sitting on the file system being loaded and refreshed as needed. This will eventually change into a MySQL instance, but I've just not had the time to learn jQuery + MySQL in Django.
Anyways, you can (for now) CTRL+F to find people or tribes. I'll be adding searching at some point. You can sort the tables, but the sorting code has a few bugs that I'm aware of:
But otherwise it works if you want to change sorting by level in the player tab.
PS. Since I'm parsing tribe data I wrote some code up to parse out death logs from your tribes! This is implemented under the Wall of Shame. Seems to be some INTERNAL TENSION going on in Za Warudo
With all that said, this site should hopefully take care of the need to 'register' your Tribe to the forums. In the next coming days I will be adding code to display whether members are Admin/Members to the tribe display. At the end of the day this will be a tool the admins can use to help determine if someone or a tribe has gone MIA.
Hope this adds a small amount of extra fun to your ARK experience. There will be more to come!

- Last Seen doesn't sort because the sorter isn't smart enough to parse the string as a date stamp
- Sorting breaks member 'expand/collapse' in the tribe tab
But otherwise it works if you want to change sorting by level in the player tab.
