On July 18, 2007, Hank Green uploaded a video of himself playing and singing his song "Accio Deathly Hallows" in honor of the seventh Harry Potter book. This video was the first VlogBrothers video to make the front page of YouTube, and the starting point of the brothers' success as vloggers. The Brotherhood 2.0 Project ended on December 31, 2007. However, the brothers decided to continue uploading videos on YouTube due to having a growing fan base and their popularity. They continue vlogging even though the project had ended.Following the conclusion of Brotherhood 2.0, a website was set up for their community, known as nerdfighters.
A Nerd
Fighter is a person who is proud to be nerdy and intelligent, and who fights to
decrease WorldSuck. Nerdfighters have also been described as someone who is
"Outgoing, intelligent and awesome enough to accept nerd as a
compliment". The polar opposite of a Nerdfighter is a Decepticon.
Nerds who
fight, usually against popular people. This term originated from the videoblog
Brotherhood 2.0. John Green, one of the two participants in the videoblog, and
his brother Hank Green, noticed a game called Nerd Fighters at an airport.
Eventually, the viewers of the videoblog began being nerdfighters. Nerdfighters
are considered to be "made of awesome" by John, Hank and other
nerdfighters. The nerdfighters often send in pictures of nerdfighter related
activities to the videoblog.
Their
definition of Nerd Fighters is: "People who instead of being made up of
cells and organs and stuff are actually made out of awesome. They fight
decepticons on behalf of Nerds everywhere ! "
DFTBA means "Don't Forget To Be Awesome," the Green brothers create it and a hand sign (or "gang sign," as it is jokingly referred to by Hank and John). The Nerdfighter "gang sign" is the Vulcan salute from Star Trek done on both hands instead of just one, with arms crossed and palms facing inwards.
