    Age of Extinction has been going for 8 months. Black London has been going for ... a couple years at least.

    My site is 12 years old. In my experience it is very rare to have a site going for that long so whoever else voted for 10+ years, please PM me the URL to your sites. I'd love to check them out! :)

    Sanctuary has been running since October 4th of 2011 so we will be celebrating our first year this year. Still trying to think of what to do for Sanctuary's birthday party.

    EF turned six on July 6th, but we celebrate officially on August 8th (since we were only on IF a month before moving to self-hosted IPB).

    I'm actually surprised how many sites are in the same region. I've always felt like most die before their second anniversary, so it's awesome to see how many sites have been around just as long. :D In fact, I remember a lot of the sites that EF 'grew up with'. I feel like a proud mom chatting with other proud moms while they wait for their kids at the school gates.

    Finding Serenity has just reached five years of existence. But it did come from another site Lost in Serenity which was operating for a year before that. Unfortunately we had a bit of a catastrophe last November when the database crashed and the active admins at the time did not have access to the Hosting Server. It ended up with the database being irretrievable and the hosting being cancelled meaning we lost four years of information and role play. The current active admins didn't give in and we got a new hosting platform changed from .org to .net managed to keep most of our members, through our facebook page and word of mouth and have been rebuilding and continuing on ever since.

    So I don't know does that make the current site only 8 months old??

    Three years for my game, Moonlight Destiny. Compared to some of y'all it's not that long, but compared to a lot more it is. Either way, considering I had never adminned anything when I opened, was fourteen, and had no clue what I was getting into I think it's a huge achievement for us.

    My current site is fairly new, but I certainly hope it'll last as long as some of the games in here. xD

    We just hit our one year mark on June 22nd of this year and for me, that's pretty exciting since I've had several boards over the past few years that never made it to this point!

    My community lasted six very long, pretty rewarding years. The board was shut down the beginning of this year, though, but it had been a little stale for quite a while. We went through six years and three different boards, settings, and plots. It was a fun run though.
