Happy Birthday Have You Met Ted
By JD
Have-You-Met-Ted.com turns eight months old today. I posted Barney and Marshall have a Confrontation on September 1st last year. I didn’t know what the site would become, if anyone would read it, or if there were even that many other fans of the show out there. I just wanted to have some intelligent discussion about the show and couldn’t find a good place for it.Since then I’ve had 130,000 page views, 965 comments, 332 subscribers, and 162 posts (it feels like I’ve written 10x that). I’ve gotten a chance to get to know a number of intelligent, hilarious, and all around legendary fellow fans; launched a Facebook group, and helped a soldier in Iraq publicize his love for the show.
The show has also come a long way. When I started it had a cult following, and now it’s gone a lot more mainstream and gaining viewers every week. The world is starting to realize what we’ve known all along.
I want to thank you guys for all the comments and support for both the site and the show that you’ve shown over the past eight months. I hope you stick around, I’ve got more great stuff to come in the future.

Keep up the good work! I found this website out a few months ago and I find myself coming here 2 or 3 times a week to catch up on the latest HIMYM news.

You definitely have a good thing going JD. Somehow I found your site while searching for HIMYM info and thought i’ve looked at a few other fan sites, yours is the only one I have and will participate in. I’m kinda loyal that way
Here’s to the future!

This place can go to hell for all I care. It looks like crap, and the guy that runs it is a ginormous prick
Thanks a lot for all of this JD. It was (and continues to be) a great outlet for my HIMYM thoughts before my friends wised-up to the greatness that is HIMYM.

Congrats on 8 months! I came across this site a few months back and it is by far the most up-to-date HIMYM resource around.

Thanks, mate!
I don’t know anyone who even would consider to watch this, so it’s fantastic to hear the views of others who do appreciate the finer things on TV.
