The Nerdfighters site recently reached the 90,000 milestone for registered accounts which is huge. Oddly the most recent 10,000 accounts were created within a year compared to the previous ten. I am pretty stoked that the site is getting bigger all the time, as the Green Bros’ following is getting bigger all the time. But then I got to thinking (which is rarely good news for anyone else I work with on the site :D ) there will likely be many people who are unsure about elements of our…

Hey fellow Nerdfighters! I am currently in the process of writing an essay about nerds, so I need some personal input from you. If you could take a few seconds to comment, I would be very appreciative. 

What are your reasons for considering yourself a nerd?…

Ever since I first heard Hank's song on the subject, I've been thinking about how to make it real. I figure we will need:



*An Island

*An Airport

*A University

*A few dozen apartment buildings

*A movie theater

*A pool (indoor for the winter)

*A hospital

*A few sports fields and the like (there are athletic nerds after all)

*A comic book store

*A cyber cafe

*Dozens upon dozens of solar panels and windmills

*Power plant…

Greetings Nerdfighters!

I have had a few messages and tweets over the last week or so regarding Administrator and Moderator appointments, but I have been away so sorry if I haven’t got back to you yet! This is a subject often brought up when we talk with the users.  So I have written a handy guide that will give you tips on how to go about applying and when.

When can we apply for Admin Positions? I think I missed the last set of positions!

The answer to…

I've just joined the Nerdfighters, and I am so excited that this community exists. I grew up as kind of a closet nerd.  I mean, my whole family are nerds, so nerdiness is entirely accepted and encouraged at home. My older brother and I grew up with successive versions of Star Trek. Star Wars was a staple too; my brother had lots of Star Wars toys, and one Halloween we went as Luke and Leia. My mom even did the coiled braids at the sides of my head. I apparently took my princessly role very…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!



I've had a hard time getting the full resolution mosaic online because it's so huge, but keep in touch, I'll get it online somehow!

*ORIGINAL IDEAS! PLEASE BE NICE AND DON'T TAKE THEM! IF YOU DO I WILL SEND THE LEPRECHAUN ARMY TO GET YOU* Thanks to everyone who reads this and enjoys it ^^ 

CHAPTER 1

She sat in the room quietly, her tried body now having trouble sitting up. The room she sat in wasn't to small, however, it felt so with the clutter lining the walls. Papers, files, the occasional plate or cup- which she guessed contained mold of some sort. The man in front of…

I guess the post title could be "Honesty" since that title was unnervingly honest ("Honesty? What is this 'honesty' you speak of?" quote the raven of American society...or most society, really).

Original ideas for the title include "YOLO" and "You Only Live Once?"

But before you scramble in the other direction, hear me out. I am typing what I'd like to call an enjoyable (if not completely time-wasting) blog.

If you haven't heard of the acronym YOLO, it stands for "You…

All hail, the NERDFIGHTERS!!

Okay, so this is one of my contributions for the Nerdfighter Notes Project. I will be posting this one on our school’s bulletin board, when I go there, on May 6th. I am hoping to help spread the awesomeness of Nerdfighteria in our college. I am currently working on the mini…

Today I was sitting at my grandmother's house in the living room alone, as I often find myself when everyone else is off and busy being without me (I'm a nerd with peculiar dreams, what can I say?).

This time around however, instead of writing, reading, talking to myself, pretending to be Hamlet, etc., I decided to watch television.

Now, television and I have a weird relationship (as in I usually watch TV shows on the internet, so the actual TV doesn't like me…

Dearest Vlogbrothers,

I have been a Nerdfighter for roughly half a year now and in that time my perception of the world and the nature of humanity has been drastically changed. Because of the both of you and all of the other Nerdfighters I believe that I have grown and learned so much more in this short period of time than I have in the past three years without you, and I am not just talking about having learned things like the word initialism and giraffe sex facts and world history;…

Something I made for all the Hufflepuffs out there!

I mean it! There's a tour in which John and Hank go around the US. doing awesome things going on! Oh, you already knew this? Uhm.. well, this is a bit awkward then.

Okay, for real now. So there's this nerdfighter on the ning by the name Sarah Mills that sent me this video she made. The video shows the nerdfighter gathering before the Green's show in NYC, the queue outside, a bit of the show and a little from the…

Hi there, peoples of the internetz.

I see that Your Pants are back up.

I just had to say that. Sorry.

Anyway, I know it isn't a Monday, Wednesday or Friday today, but I just felt like posting a blog post. Ok? Also, I'm not back at Air Cadets til the 10th. Which is next Tuesday. Which gives me time to blog.

So, well. At the moment I am confined to either my room or the living room because of my foot and the fact that I had an…

So, we've had the P4A just go by about two weeks ago now, but the way I see it, that can't be the only regular charitable event that Nerdfigteria participates in. Although we have our on-going contributions to Kiva.org and may other awesome projects, I feel like its time we combined two things that Nerdfighteria is exceptionally passionate about.

Namely Writing and Charity

So I present to you the…

This right here is a little wee shout out!

A shout out too all those NFs' who're good at creating stuff!…

This post isn't going to have much content, and I really doubt that they'll see it, but I feel that I really need to thank John and Hank for what they've done for me recently without having any idea of the amazing help that they've been. Recently I have had several very hard times, tough transitions, losing friends, broken promises, just several things that have fallen really heavily on my shoulders and I haven't really known how to get myself out of the funks that these events leave me in.…
