Nine Years.This week, our company turns nine years old. It's crazy to think that nine years ago this week we were posting the first RT video online. We had no idea what to expect from a couple of Spartans wondering about the importance of a box canyon in the middle of nowhere -- but I can tell you that the series and the company passed our wildest expectations in just a few weeks.
We had about 2,000 viewers for that first episode and it exploded to about 250,000 the following week thanks to sites like Fark, Slashdot and our friends over at Penny Arcade. From there it was about a six week climb to hit one million viewers a week.
This year, we will hit one billion views on YouTube alone. The podcast is the #1 videogame podcast on iTunes. Red vs Blue will go from being the longest running web series to the longest running Sci-Fi show in American history (damn you Dr Who). And we'll be introducing all-new shows that will help carry us through to our tenth anniversary and beyond. We can't wait to show them to you.
So, whether you were one of the original 2,000 that watched from day one or if you just discovered us recently, thank you for coming by. On behalf of all 32 people working at Rooster Teeth, I want to let you know how much your support means to us. We would not be capable
What do you say? Let's go for a decade.

Congrats to everyone at RT.
Hey, remember how y'all had to take down the site in between seasons for sponsor stuff? Good times.
Greatest
Party
Ever
L'Chayim to that!
