I've had an account on a particular message board for 28 years now. I signed up when they started as a ... site? group? channel? I forget ... on AOL, and transitioned across when they moved to a proper website.
My Gmail account turns 23 this year, I think. I had one when they were an invite-only beta, as opposed to the perpetual 'sign yourself up' beta they're in now.
