On the most recent credit report that I pulled for myselft it showed the average length of my CURRENT accounts. So in that respect, if you close a bunch of newer cards and keep some older cards, your account history would actually improve (becasue the average of the cards still open is higher after dropping the newer cards). I'm not sure if everyone does it like this or not.
