This very one has content dating back to October 26th 2006, and currently sports:
How does yours compare? Post in the comments.
PS: not doing this for bragging rights (mine isn’t that old or big), genuinely interested in getting a random data sample through this post, rather than a more structured way of gathering data.
Looks like my first post was October 11th 2004. lolwuht.
And I have….
537 posts
19 pages
23 categories
537 tags (surprise!)
3,329 approved comments (4,356 including ones sitting in purgatory queues. Oops.)
Not so much in the way of stored media, though.

Because I’d rather write code than manually make the results. 🙂
[code lang=”php”]<?php
require_once( ‘wp-load.php’ );
$data = array(
‘posts’ => wp_count_posts( ‘post’ )->publish,
‘pages’ => wp_count_posts( ‘page’ )->publish,
‘categories’ => wp_count_terms( ‘category’ ),
‘tags’ => wp_count_terms( ‘post_tag’ ),
‘comments’ => wp_count_comments()->approved,
‘attachments’ => wp_count_posts( ‘attachment’ )->inherit,
);
$output = "<ul>\n";
foreach ( $data as $label => $value )
$output .= "\t<li>" . number_format( $value ). " $label</li>\n";
$output .= ‘</ul>’;
echo ‘<pre>’ . esc_html( $output );[/code]
This is since the current version of my site which was started in 2005. I sadly lost the b2, b2evolution, and previous versions of WordPress-powered blogs.
If i go with my main personal blog, which is also the oldest:

7,587 Comments
48 images (I tended to save them elsewhere)
Some posts were imported from Before WordPress. The oldest post is from 1998/12/25, but the first WP post was Sunday, January 2, 2005.

My oldest post (imported from a previous blog that was all hand-updated HTML) is from 2004-01-21. My oldest post that was made with WordPress is from 2006-07-27.
Why don’t you create a survey form of some sort to capture the data in a structured format?
Who said the data is what I’m looking for?
On my (fairly new) personal blog:
Oldest post is 2008-04-01 (although I may have backdated :))

Fansite has pretty much double all of that 😉
On my local site, which is currently a backlog of imported content from other services (Flickr, Instagram, Twitter), but which will soon be merged into my live site:
But on my real site:
Oldest post is 2003-04-08, but that’s from when I was running http://www.blosxom.com/. I actually don’t know when my first WP post was, but it was quite a bit later than that.
Looking forward to the merge, sounds like quite an undertaking!
Yeah, it’s taking a while, and requires a new theme to handle it all as well. Oh, and I have to re-organize my sites across 3 different servers (now down to only 2). Slowly, slowly 🙂

(Boy, do I ever need to start blogging again. Also, hi Stephane! Sorry to have missed you at WCMTL!)
My content is spread across five sites, many of which branched off from my personal blog over the years. The oldest post dates back to July 17, 2006, which was imported from Blogger or Vox. Doesn’t count my Livejournal archive or the static sites I used to blog on, which date back to 1999.
Here are the totals:
* 488 Posts
* 22 Pages
* 27 Categories
* 1418 Tags
* 1253 Comments
