New GPG key
I’m currently thinking about having some business cards printed for my Ambassador activities. And as 1000 cards cost about as much as 500 I decided to have 1000 cards printed 
However when it came to putting my GPG Key on the card I noticed that my GPG Key will expire in 2010. I assumed I wouldn’t be that fast in handing out 1000 business cards so I generated a new GPG Key:
GPG-Key-ID: 0xB30D8F7C
Fingerprint: 5BF1 4BEA D4A4 7987 C3DA DCA2 775F 7BD0 B30D 8F7C
That one will expire in 2014 which should be enough time My old key is revoked as of now.

I used to do the exactly same thing…. then someone showed me that I could ‘renew’ my expiration date for the key. I don’t know what is exactly best practice but that seems to be what a lot of people do. You give a short expiration, and then renew and upload the updated key.

It’s your key, you can change the expiration date whenever you want in gnupg. There is no need to create a new one

Yes but since I didn’t use it all too recently I forgot the Passphrase
But I didn’t want to admit publically
