It was six years ago today that I made the decision to leave the forums behind and carve out my own corner of the internet. So here we are 10,775 posts and 145,217 comments later. Our traffic over the last year has been stratospheric. This is just those of you who read us on the blog, not including the folks who read us on Network blogs and and Facebook;
The most popular post remains the one about Soup Sandwich with 95,000 reads in the last year. The second most read page is the Stolen Valor page with the links to our candidates in the last tournament. The spike in the chart above is from TSO’s unmasking of Tim Poe. I’m kind of proud of the fact that we were responsible for 6000 days of wasted manhours in the last year.
So welcome to our 7th year. Here’s the interview I did a few months ago about the founding and my vision for TAH. Thanks to all of the bloggers who think we have something important to say and thanks to you readers and commenters who find some measure of value in our ramblings through the English language.
Congratulations on six years. May you have many more !!
Congrats, Jonn. And thanks for letting me play. (smile)
Congratulations on the 6 yr anniversary!! can’t wait to see the next 6!
And thank you, Jonn for maintaining a blog that’s so fun to read!! I think I found you shortly after you got started…on a recommendation from your blogfather, Mr. Burden!
Thanks for letting me hang around as long as I don’t drink all your Sarnac and clean up my messes.
Congratulations, Jonn!
Well, I’ve known you since before you started this blog. It was definitely a much smaller community, back then, since I was following Blackfive and I was corresponding with COB6 on his blog and found out we had some shared history from our time in the Army, but that’s how this all keeps going. We ended up doing a Vet/Military networking thing and it took off from there, since COB6 moved on to join the ranks at both Blackfive and here at TAH.
I’ve spent a little time with you, TSO, and Mr. Wolf, which I wish would have been more, but with travel time and tight time constraints; that’s how it goes.
Congratulations, old boy, and may you have many, many more years on the internet!
OK slapping yourself on the back time has ended! Back to work!
Lol Congrats and keep up the good work…
BRAVO ZULU. MAKE WEIGH. FULL STEAM AHEAD.
Six years of doing this? That’s almost as old as I am!
Great job, keep it up.
Congratulations and keep up the stellat work, especially exposing phonies and honoring our warriors.
Congrats, Jonn.
I came over here as COB6 began to shut his site down. Haven’t considered another “first read” mil-blog.
Hoping to enjoy many more years of TAH!
I didn’t realize you started this blog on your birthday.
Well, happy anniversary to TAH and ? HAPPY BIRTHDAY ? to you. Love you to the moon and back.
Well – learn something new every day.
Happy birthday, Jonn. May you enjoy many more.
And thanks again from all of us.
Mr. Lilyea, congratulations on your anniversary!!! Thank you allowing me to hang around and add a comment or two.
Excellent 6 years Jonn! Thanks a milion for all you and everyone does at TAH. I almost have withdrawals if TAH isn’t read daily.
