OK...it is possible that I've actually fixed the problem of the perpetual bannings. In my opinion (if we can keep spam under control) this will represent the dawning of a new era here in My Pants. At least, I hope so.

P.S. some of the pictures in signatures are getting ridiculous...please make them smaller. Thank you!

How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

I was looking for something on Scott Westerfeld on youtube and found a day in the life of a writer. Then I looked for more bro2.0 videos, and ended up going to the website.

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

I was randomly looking for stuffs on Youtube, and in late June I came across one of the videos. I thought it was so awesome, so I watched 'em all.

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

My book club head-person (I dunno what to call her!!!) is from Bookshelves of Doom and she likes/loves (one of them) Brotherhood 2.0 and after reading An Abundance of Katherine's she told us about Brotherhood 2.0 and got MOST of us hooked on it smile (those who weren't already anyway)

Accio Deathly Hallows, of course.


I can't imagine my life if I had been a good girl that week before Deathly Hallows in order to avoid evil people posting spoilers.  But I didn't and the last six months of my life have been happier because of it.

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

Accio Deathly Hallows also.

I remember watching it, then freaking out because Harry Potter was coming out in like two days, then I was curious as to why he said "John, I'll see you tomorrow." So i checked out his other videos because 1) I wanted to see why he said that, and 2) if he like Harry Potter so much as to write a song about it, this guy must be awesome. After that I spent all day and night catching up on videos. It took me a few days. I thought what they were doing was a really cool idea, and I immediately wanted to steal it. I was totally, and completely HOOKED. Now my life has been so much more awesome because of it. I looked forward to seeing Hank or John everyday, and weekends killed me because they didn't make videos. But now thanks to Nerdfighter WhoRadley for posting the scavenger hunt final answer thing, i now know that I won't be completely Hank and John deprived, thank God.

thank you Hank and John, changed my life. DFTBA.

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

Accio Deathly Hallows!
The night DH came out was the first night I spent living in a new house that I didn't like and never wanted to move into. The next few weeks were unhappy times, but I spent most of my nights getting myself through all of the previous months' B2.0 vids- they kept me sane and gave me something to look forward to every day.

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

Sometime in febuary my friends started watching it at our photography club meetings and quoting it. They tried to get me to watch one, but I wanted to start from the begining. Didn't actually start watching them till spring break, but I dedicated a solid three days to getting caught up.

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

I was randomly searching around You Tube sometime in Feb and saw a B2.0 video in the 'related' videos section, clicked on it, watched it and have been hooked ever since!

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

Like a lot of people, it was Accio Deathly Hallows, that drew me in. I had just finished HP and was searching for more information when a link for youtube came up. I clicked and watched. I remember thinking how funny Hank was and wanting to know why he was going to dye his hair green. After that I watched the next few succeeding videos and was instantly hooked. Watching every video from Jan 1 on just reinforced the obsession.

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

Like a lot of others accio deathly hallows... that was the first video i watched, then i read about it on this website then  i saw the one where hank said "welcome to our new viewers... sometimes we like to put stuff on our heads" and i found that so funny and thought hank was kind of... fit... then i discovered that he was the younger sibling (like me) so i was like WOOOO and for a while i was prejudiced towards Hank but then i was like... well actually John is cool too! so yeah

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

I found them through the September 12th video, where John read an excerpt of Paper Towns. I think I was randomly searching for something about writing or novelists, and I came across that video. I loved it, and decided to look up John's books and the rest of the videos. I was hooked almost immediately when I understood the premise. xD

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

Like many people, Accio Deathly Hallows. My brother showed me the video because we are huge fans of Harry. Also :

Oh my God. Tonight is Lord Voldemort's 81st Birthday. Wow.  Alright this is off subject but i have to talk to people. I did my happy dance when the two of them were singing and I had a little tear. I mean, they were like my Nerdfighter dad's. I am 12 so i am very emotional I guess. :] I have been in the Nerdfight- uhh - taria since June, which means i missed out a little but i still think it is great. This is my 21st post out of many more.
Sorry, i just really needed to talk. Even if i am in the wrong section.

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

Accio Deathly Hallows. What a great song. I had been looking at the front page and thought "That looks good." A few hours later I was hooked on Brotherhood 2.0.

Don't worry Lil'Moony, I'm sure almost everyone was just as emotional. I know I was! smile

Hank went to the car show in November. Since I too dig alt-fuel vehicles, I checked it out. Who knew what a ride that would start!

Re: How did all of the nerdfigfhters find brotherhood2.0?

i joined at brotherhood2.accio, or acci0

i needed more harry potter, so i started looking for harry potter songs, and i found a pic that said, "harry and the potters are nerdfighters", and that led me to accio deathly hallows.  after 5 times through to get the malfoy line straight (whew!), i was hooked.

i didn't do youtube at all before B20.  still don't do anything except them and theirs.
