I doubt anyone remembers, but wasn't Dan's army called the "Brownies?" I like the name better because Pogotribe is just a crap name that he thought of in a few seconds because it had the word Tribe in it. I wouldn't have a problem with co-existing, but its the same group of people and the Brownies have died.
@ Not saying they are the same thing
Why doesn't he use the Brownies anymore?
@ Saying they are
Should we change the name?
What I hope will be:
Tribe=Pogotribe Members=Brownies (what are they called now?)

The Brownies are gone. The Pogotribe isn't about Dan.

The PogoTribe and the Brownies are NOT the same thing. I repeat, 'NOT'. Please do not act under this assumption.

In a video, Dan said that everyone that watched his videos is part of a tribe. Therefore, Brownies = Pogotribe. If you want to argue that only the people on the moon are a part of the tribe because we're the only ones working towards level 5, I guess I understand that logic

Dan calls us a tribe, so I always worked under the assumption that we are a tribe. Though I never have never seen the video where he calls us Brownies, so I cannot say for sure.

Guys, to be honest, I'm not that much of a Dan Brown fan. Yes, he did make me fall in love with American Apparel sweatshirts, but I'm not a HUGE fan. I still love this place, but I'm not a Brownie. I don't hate him, but I'm not a huge fan.

If you want to argue that only the people on the moon are a part of the tribe because we're the only ones working towards level 5, I guess I understand that logic Brownies are people that watch Dan's videos, Tribe members do not necessarily watch Dan's videos, therefore tribe members are not necessarily brownies, therefore Brownies <> PogoTribe My logic is sound. All brownies are Tribe members, all tribe members are not brownies, think squares and rectangles.

Well, I think right now all tribe members are brownies.. I think we all found the site because of Dan.. That's not to say that this will always be true, though. Dan WANTS people who have never heard of him to come to the moon and join the community, so once that happens, brownies and tribe members won't be the same.. but I still think that for the time being, they are. Wait.. are YOU not a brownie?!

Just because you watch Dan's videos and follow him faithfully doesn't mean you're a part of the PogoTribe... Just because you joined the PogoTribe and are inspired by Dan to do great things doesn't make you a Brownie! Really, some people are both, but I don't think everyone is. It doesn't really matter, anyways.

I watch vlogbrothers videos I am not a Nerdfighter. Nerdfighter and Brownie seem to me to be fan names. To be a Nerdfighter you have to "want to be a nerdfighter" I am not a fan. I am an equal. We are community, Dan Brown is a pogo tribe member just like the rest of us, he is not a Brownie and neither am I. (Don't get me wrong, Dan is really cool and awesome, but so are loads of the people here) This is a community, not a fan page. Road has it down exactly. I am not a follower. I'm a community member. For the record though I heard of the pogo tribe through Dan, I came here because I had a project I wanted to share that I thought wouldn't go down well on other message boards.

I somewhat disagree with you RabbitWho.
Nerdfighter is not a fan name. It is a community name just like PogoTribe. It seems to me Brownie seems to be a bit more like a fan name but if you have watched a few of Dan's weekly streaming he does not refer to us as fans. He actually calls it the "F word" because he disagrees with it that much. But I do agree with you that there is a difference between in the Brrownies vs. Pogotibe thing.

>:(OK IM ENDING THIS NAO! Brownie=Dan's Subberz and viewers Pogotribe= Group of people that agree with dan on topics stated in video/agree with him enough to help community grow, most are on this site. "Brownies" was a nick-name dan used as a metaphor, It was also somewhat used to look at us like "fans" or less important than dan, Dan stopped using this and replaced in with pogotribe after he realized that we are equals and he does not control us, yet only organizes us, and what we can do is out of his control.

I agree with this, except that Pogotribe members don't have to agree with Dan on his topics. In fact, Dan even said himself that he likes it better when people disagree.

all you have to do to be in the PogoTribe is FEEL that you're in the tribe
