    Hello everyone i though of a question and i dont think ive seen it on here, I've been wondering what do all y'all call your YouTube Fanbase and Followers? Is it neccesary or beneficial for us to come up with a name or nickname to call our fans/fanbase? Ive been wondering because ive seen some YouTubers that call their Fans a specific name or nickname i guess so they'll feel special and belong. For example GameGrumps they call their Fan Base Lovelies and sometimes a profanity word as a joke lol its weird but they are really popular so they can get away with that sort of thing.

    Also for example Achievement Hunter a branch of Rooster Teeth calls their fans Achievement Hunters and thats being really simple and cool. What i wanna know is what do you call your fans and if y'all could help me come up with a good name to call my fans? My YouTube name is KiCt27, it was originally supposed to be the Combination of the words Killer & Instinct, also i put the #27 in there because of a funny joke i saw from the simpsons like 10 years ago or something. So i had a couple ideas for what i should call my fans, the first one i was thinking of calling them KiCtsters i know its really simple and kind of dumb but im just throwing stuff out there.

    The second idea for what i should call my fans is K Meisters i had the idea when playing Pokemon Y and when the "Rivals" gave me a choice between 3 nicknames or keeping my own name that popped up and its kind of stuck with me lol K Meister. I feel like that could work but any help and opinions on the matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!:)

    I think the Meisters one is kewl but most would not know the story behind it, and I really like the KiCtsters - unique and simple, solo to ur name..... I see this alot with streamers too take,for example mah friend Cory he calls us his RuleBreakers, and a few others have words but I cannot rememeber them all... I think its a great idea tho and makes ur followers feel special!!

    Yeah it does make people feel special lol, thats kind of why im trying to figure out a name to give to my fanbase that doesmt sound dumb lol. I think for you the perfect thing you should call your fan base is AlliKat's (sounds like Ally Cats) its nice because you told me before that used to be your nickname and that actually fits for you. My youtube name is weird and has story behinf it that most people dont know about. And ive thought about changing my name but i have over 350 videos under my current name so changing it now would be wierd.

    Anyway which name do you lile better for me? I kinda like them both but KiCtsters might be kind of hard to say pronounced (Kickedsters? Or maybe Kicksters?). Anyway thanks for letting me know but i want the non biased opinion like if people just saw my channel for the first time which one would be better? Thanks :)

    I currently dont really call them anything tbh, but if i would call them anything it would either be Fakz Army, or my angels. Because why not i guess xD.

    But any ideas for yours sorry man, i dont have any sadly...

    No benefit at all just perhaps for larer youtubers who want to create more ineraction for their large follower base its beneficial for merch and well yh not much real use at all especially during the start of youtubing since I would assume smaller youtubers like me don't have a strong enough follower fanbase

    Thats an interesting choice there lol :laughing:. And that sucks :( i was really hoping people would help me on it, or at least there opinions anyway:confused:.

    Yeah i guess it doesnt really have that much benefit in the beginning does it. Like you said its better when you have a bigger fanbase, i wish i could get a bigger fanbase, i havent really gotten anywhere in the past couple of years:( (facepalms).

    Yeah thats what im doing at the moment, for the most part...

    One time during a SOMA livestream, I passed a note on the floor and completely misread it was "Potato Buddies". I got SO excited over the idea of "Potato Buddies" and was really bummed when I realized it actually read "Pathos Buddies". Immediately after however, my community ran with it and started calling themselves Potato Buddies XDD

    A lot of the time it just sort of happens. Like Pewdiepie's "Bro Army" was just a play on slang, and it took. Mine was the misreading of a note XD

    Lol thats a funny story haha XD, i feel ive definetly misread stuff in L.P's before but nothing to the extent where i could make a meme out of myself or create a name for my fanbase XD. Thats a cool story, if did have an active fanbase theyd probably tell me but they are on/off or dont comment much. But that be cool if that happened to me and thanks for sharing the story :)! Oh also i cant believe this lol but i actually knew you before! Well kind of, you used to be on Freedom yes? So i was i i believe i gave you a shout out and a channel review or something back then! I had your old prof pic saved so i could use it for an annotation link for a shout out. I believe back then your channel was called Darkovika Gaming or something to that extent. Its a small world huh... well, anyway it was nice to meet you again(if it was u) and all oh btw; i like your prof pic you look pretty :) in it! Until next time...

    None; because of my channel size and I really don't have a big following on YouTube, which doesn't really have a real benefit.

    And, there is no reason to it especially when you have small channel and the views are crambling, so there is no use it.

    I have had trouble choosing too.
    I'm the gingerbread lady, my channel is the bakehouse and sometimes I call my followers 'bakehouse buddies' & sometimes DOUGHnutz - cause they're nutz for my dough.

    I don't know yet. I only recently got devoted stream watchers. I was thinking Freelancers, or Mercs, or Nurds.

    I can see the logic and reasoning behind that lol.
    --- Post updated ---
    Lol thats pretty clever and funny :laughing:! Who wouldnt be nutz for your dough lol, from your prof pic you look really pretty:blush:. Anyway Ive thought of a funny one but its pretty stupid. So like my channel name/persona starts with a K and well when me and my friend play Donkey Kong Country Returns on the show we like to like to call him Konkey Dong instead of Donkey Kong because as we all know DK has a Konky Dong. So i thought of calling my followers Konky Dongs because they both start with a K. But thats a pretty big stretch so i doubt it would work :laughing:. Whatever you do dont switch the first 2 letters of Diddy Kong like Donky Kong....:eek:.

    Yeah im kinda in the same boat your in right now too lol. Well what are you gonna do, well probably figure it out once we get more followers down the road. Hopefully at least lol:laughing:.
