Boy, you guys had really sold me on how hard Wild's accent would be. It was nothing. I have family in Georgia and Florida with accents way stronger than his, so it was nothing. It was a nice clash of the accents between LD and Wild, but that talk doesn't need subtitles.
It was a good talk, at times I'll admit it felt like an infomercial but then it opened up to more personal experiences from Wild which made it good to listen to. With this kind of show, though, I am curious if it is preaching to the choir. It was a good insight into how the forum started and works, but are people unfamiliar with the forum going to tune in to get inspired? Other MMA forums may be hesitant to allow a podcast that essentially advertises for a "rival" forum, for instance. Think of it like if someone put up the JRE where he had Kirik on from The UG, would you be up for having someone talk about The UG for a few hours on your site?
But ultimately it was a nice perspective on Wild's love for this site. It's something you don't see often, a passion for something in this community. On reddit, everyone wants to be the first to report something or the first person to respond to one of Shane Carwin's silly posts, or the first person to make a clever upvote-winning comment. Elsewhere, people like to fight. Here, people like to talk the sport they love so much. To me, that says it all. On some of these larger communities, I wonder if some of the members even watch the sport. Here, I'd like to think everyone watches or at least knows about major events and the goings on in the sport.
And to those still curious about the distinction, moderators tend to be the folks who run the forums, as in they manage threads and handle conflicts and keep the peace. Admins can (and do) do that kind of thing too, but Admins are more the site runners. They're the ones in charge, responsible for building and operating the site. In a corporation context, think of it like the Admins are the directors (and can be owners too), and Moderators are the managers.
