Why do you think there are so many of us here?
So many open mod slots?

Are there?
Only an INTJ would start a 43 page thread on why a forum devoted to their MBTI type is so boring. Ok, maybe an INTP would too.
They seem to have backed off on a lot of their moderation. Not completely of course. I see one line posts that don't get deleted. Apparently it's possible to post with more than 6 images now ... or they don't count emoji as images any more. But I believe the link restrictions are still enforced.
But yeah, I can't believe an INTJ would want to micromanage everything that much. INTJs care about the vision, that principles are followed, but not the specifics.
As for "a lot of the moderators weren't INTJ" ... um YEAH ... it isn't obvious? Lots of technically-oriented INFJs that self-type as INTJs, lots of INTPs who might be type 1s which hides their "P" side. Lots of super-nitpicky nitpickiness.
There are also a bunch of ISTPs self-typed as INTJs there, though I don't know of any who are mods. Just a lot of members that if you engage in a discussion with them, you'll see them take abstract analogies and metaphors remarkably literally, using them as axioms/theorems instead of as the limited-use communication tools that they are.
And finally a bunch of INTJ kids who take life way too seriously.
Well, first of all, the type descriptions aren't about what we are supposed to do, they are about what we really do. Or more accurately, how we approach life, handle information, and make decisions. If our reality doesn't match up with one or another description, either the description isn't written very well, or perhaps we aren't that type.Why do many INTJ's trash INTJ's? Do you think it's going to make you more popular if you bash your own type?
I don't think the INTJ forum is particularly boring.
My main beef with INTJ's is that often like to brutally bash my ideas even though they are wrong and they don't know what they're talking about. The 2nd thing I don't like is when INTJ's are politically correct. According to the type descriptions, we're not supposed to care about political correctness. We're supposed to care only about the objective truth even when it's controversial or unpopular. I think other INTJ's betray their own type when they say things to be politically correct or to be liked.

Where did you get the idea an INTJ is a loyal-to-the-pack, circle-jerking fool?
I always thought INTJ's should be a powerful brotherhood and that we should help each other get more money, power, success, and hot bitches.
My preferences as well. Every now and then I peruse a thread there as a guest, but much prefer the diversity of a site such as this.Well for me, I found that forum boring because too many people there think similarly to me. I prefer being around people who see things differently than I do.
I also found it way too uptight. I saw people getting banned for the most innocuous of things. It didn't help that the place seemed like one big circle jerk at times.
I do like some members there such as Monte. No offense but I think the forums is boring though.
