That still gets used? Probably my eBay account from 2000/2001. First thing I bought from there was a 33.6k external modem lol.
Edit: No, I take that back. I have an even older account on a MUD server from like 1996. It doesn't get used regularly, but I do log in every 6-7 months, randomly, and go on a few runs.
Same. Been using my ebay account since early 1999, literally a quarter of a century. I don't remember if it was the very first, but I know one of my early purchases was a parallel port to ethernet adapter, so I could take my already aging 486SLC/33 laptop to campus and get it on the internet using the Arachne browser. The SLC was basically a 386 on steroids, and it couldn't handle both Windows and Interwebs. I paid for the first few items by mailing off a money order.
Hell yeah. What MUD?

I went through the same path. Gmail came to mind first, then eBay, then a MUD I haven't actually played in ages but double check that my account is there now and then.
