1000 VIDEOS!!!
In which Hank celebrates the creation of 1000 Vlogbrothers videos. It’s a bit of a clip show.
I can hardly believe we’ve been able to do this. To create such a huge body of work and to be part of an even larger movement of creation, both in terms of the huge growth in online video and what that has allowed, and in terms of the community of Nerdfighters and what we create together. I’m astounded every day by the kindness, intelligence, support, and awesome of this community, and I really can’t imagine being any luckier.
Yeah the deep sea anglerfish has no reason to be happy But it has no freakin idea what else to be - Hank Green

FYNF on facebook! →
In addition to our twitter feed, we now have a facebook page so you can stay up to date with Nerdfighteria via as many social networking platforms as possible! Having just reached 50,000 followers (wow) only a few days after our 3rd birthday (September 4, for those interested), we thought it was about time we branched out further. Hope you enjoy, and as always, thanks for being awesome.
John Green’s favorite Olympic moment wasn’t about winning. It was about the mantra he and his brother Hank have passed on to fans around the globe: DFTBA (don’t forget to be awesome).
When British gymnast Jennifer Pinches finished her routine during the women’s all-around team finals, she flashed the Nerdfighter sign, proving that what might seem like a malformed Vulcan greeting to the uninitiated is actually becoming an international call to arms to Decrease World Suck.

The size of the Nerdfighter movement is boggling. Over the five years since the Vlogbrothers’ creation, the fanbase has grown at a kudzu vine-like rate, encompassing everything from social activism to Olympic competition and beyond. From the original YouTube vlog, which has nearly 250 million views, there’s an official forum and Nerdfighters directory with over 1600 local meetup groups worldwide. Nerdfighteria—the global span of Nerdfighters—includes chat rooms, a Reddit board, a Minecraft server, and an unofficial holiday, Esther Day. On the official Nerdfighters website, the list of social projects spearheaded by Nerdfighters around the globe is eight pages long and counting.
They’ve even had a plane named after the movement: the SS DFTBA.
We’re mentioned in this article! Awww yeah!

the "i'm bitter about not being at vidcon" BLOGTV SHOW!! starring your favorite host, Katy! →
"I really hate it when I’m watching a show on my computer on full screen and then the show fades to black, and then suddenly I can see my reflection on the monitor. You can see that slack, dull face just staring at itself. I just want to snap out of it and go do something with my life but I know that I can’t because I’m in the middle of a show."
