Nerds Fighting on an Island?

I am here today to share with the world, a group of people who "live" on an island. Nerdfighteria Island to be exact. They seem to have some access to the internet on this island, because they have a huge online presence. This island takes on many different forms. When searching for a map, there were many different versions of maps and many different sizes and shapes that the island's form took place. This seemed to be the most detailed map:


The people who inhabit this island are said to be made of pure awesome. It is their mission to decrease worldsuck and increase global awesome.

They have their own motto



their own gang sign


their own theme song,

and they all look up to and follow the creators of Nerdfighters and Nerdfighteria, John Green and Hank Green.

John green is a best-selling author of books like Looking For Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars. His brother Hank is known for his music and various YouTube channels. Together they started making videos back and forth to each other under the name Brotherhood 2.0. Now, they call themselves the VlogBrothers. Together they still make videos under the VlogBrothers channel, but they also have expanded and they make videos on different YouTube chancels such as SciShow, Crash Course, and the Art Assignment. Hank Green created and puts together the annual YouTube Convention called VidCon. Hank and John Green also use their online presence and the Nerdfighter Community to promote their annual campaign to raise money in order to decrease worldsuck. Every year they put on Project For Awesome which raises money and awareness for thousands of charities. In December of 2013 they rained more than 860,000$.

If you would like to be a Nerdlfighter, you probably already are. Just in case: here's a video to help you understand what you're getting into:





All in all this online community brings together people from all countries. They all come together and promote each other's videos. They work together to help each other in need. And they really are made of pure awesome.
