[INFJ] New Forum for INFJs

[redacted]

for some reason the idea of an INFJ forum doesn't really interest me. i like discussion with lots of types.

The biggest problem I foresee is inadequate moderation by INFJ standards. That was how one of the forums in fc's post imploded. It was unmoderated, the owner was not an INFJ and flat out refused to do any moderating. The few active members abandoned it to the invading troll.

I do think ShaiGar will do an okay job with the moderating. Perhaps many people do not realize that he has a number of facades that he presents. So far at the new INFJ forum, he has been professional and responsible. I guess he is adapting his mode over there for that purpose.

It looks cute (resembles the ENTP.org). I'll join.

*chuckles* wonder how long this INFJ forum might last...

Darn me and my curiosity...

I think so too. He has proved that he can be serious when he wants to be (although I must add that it is quite rare).

People were naysaying the INTJ Forum too, but now it is on par with this one...after just 8 1/2 months.

INFPgc doesn't tolerate trolls. Hopefully the new INFJ board will be the same.

I Don't Understand

It seems to me that ShaiGar is kind of a goof, but does that give you reason to boycott his site? What's the reasoning - ShaiGar isn't a serious person, therefore, nothing he does is of value? And for the people who got upset because he used foul language - oh Lordy! do I ever agree with you (sarcasm).

According to personalitypage, the INFJ is the ideal match for the ENTP. Clearly, ShaiGar is attempting to assemble all the INFJs into a harem, so he can select a mate.

Oh, you lucky INFJ ladies.

That made me laugh, Martoon.

Lucky, indeed!

Updates

Some updates concerning the INFJ forum:

Motor Jax and I are now administrators. (It seems ShaiGar is giving us the reins pretty much for moderating and building the forum, though he will fund it and occasionally work on it.)

ShaiGar has decided that once the forum has reached a certain size (50 members with a good average number of posts), he will move it to vBulletin. He has the funding set aside, but he wants to make sure that there is enough interest before he puts so much money into it.

I would like to hear suggestions from those who are interested in or have already joined concerning the layout of the forum. I am talking mainly about the topic titles and such.

If you want one at vBulletin (which I also definitely prefer), then hurry up and join and make posts! The faster it grows, the sooner we can move.

Ah, I'll have to register.

I figured he would be picking moderators or admins fairly soon. Congrats on your new position as overlord of the INFJs.

Motor Jax is currently doing most of the work (and doing a very good job of it, I might add). I am having a bit of trouble getting logged into the Administration Control Panel, so until that glitch is fixed I will be limited in my activities.

But for official purposes, I am an overlord. I will however refrain from brandishing my Te unless absolutely necessary.

Yes, I implore you cool down your extreme grammar-Nazi tendencies.

 

[Kiddo]

I'm registered. Now other people need to go register. It will be a good place to meet up and talk when this place is going too slow.

 

[Motor Jax]

as for it becoming an INFJ forum, ShaiGar as offered me (Motor Jax) to take complete ownership of it. i told him that i would be honored to

once this year's contract is up, i will fund it from then on. ShaiGar has already paid for this year's subscription though, and has already made me Site Admin. and plans to move it over to a shell account to myself

what i am trying to do though is sort everything out so that there is both easy accessibility and tidiness...

The whole administratoin side of forums is fascinating to me. I had no idea actual money went into these things. I have previously only been a member of e-mail lists, and you know, those are free and quite informal. Some are quite spammy and random and others seem like you've accidentally received private ongoing inside jokes between 15-50people. And others, you are the one spamming strangers' in boxes with your ongoing inside jokes with 15-50 of your closest online friends.

I was also curious why a non XXXX would invest time and money to start a XXXX side? Especially someone apparently trollish?

I wish the INFJ site well.

Congrats to our members who will be overloading over there.

I'm staying on this island all the same.

 

[Motor Jax]

it is good though

i had actually thought about it, but didn't know how and so lost interest (as in the INFJ tradition of things)

once its started though, i don't have a hard time managing it

What are you registered as?

 

[Motor Jax]

oh, and it's not 'exclusively' for INFJ types either

others are welcome of course

 

[Totenkindly]

lol...

Seriously, I'm willing to give anyone a shot, regardless of the past [referring to people being queasy about Shaigar].

Hopefully you can go easy on me and not bring down too much Unlimited Cosmic Admin Power on my head when I'm over there. Darn it, I knew I should have gone easier on you in the insult thread.

And yes, if I was starting up a site, I'd do the same thing in regards to waiting to see the membership build to a certain point before dumping money into it. Ne-happy people have a tendency to spend lots of money up front, before it becomes justified (because they are acting on the possibilities); I think it is a good show of restraint to hold back until the membership builds a little.
