Apple iTools @mac email address from 2000, eBay since some time in 98, but they don't show records that far back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ebay will (or used to) tell you when your account started. July 97 for me. I remember when i could skim through all of the auctions, on my lunchbreak.

Ebay still shows your start date on your feedback page. Mine dates back to December 1999 and I believe that makes it my oldest still active online account.

I have an undernet from 94-95. If you don't know what that is...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I own a 6 digit steam id (500k).

I ain't much but it's honest work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Maybe my Gmail account. I made it to play Club Penguin. I still use it when signing up for things.

I have some old forum accounts but I don't use them anymore. I also had a Minecraft account from before the Mojang and Microsoft migrations. That's gone now. :(

My League of Legends and Steam accounts are old too.

1996 Hotmail. Created as a throwaway with no link to my work. Still working as a spam dump.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

lol same with one of my yahoo addresses.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Probably my google account. I'd look up the exact age but then I'd feel old.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah aol for sure though I certainly don’t frequently use it. But I do access it every year or two. That was probably around 2001 as well but I’d need to think about it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Steam Acc from 2005 and YouTube from 2006

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Yahoo. It was from 07

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Easily my /. account, using it daily since 1997 or something

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My email is my last name dot com. I've had it for 28 years.

I have an eBay account from 2000 or so, and my email is nearly as old I believe.

I don’t use the eBay account all that often now, but on and off throughout the years. Last used last year.

Gotta be my RuneScape account from 2006. Thanks to OSRS being a thing, I still play on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Apparently there are dozens of us still using Hotmail. 24 years strong!

Email from 2001

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Year one Steam account, even has a unique profile badge. It's a little over 20 years old. I only made it because I bought a copy of CS: Condition Zero, and it was needed to play online.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I guess technically my KOL. account.

Here's a question for everyone who's old enough, what is KOL and what happens to it when you turn a certain age? I've yet to meet or hear of anyone knowing this answer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

GitHub account since 2008. I think I started to use Gmail around that time, but I do not use that at all anymore.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Wikipedia user account from 2002.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Soemthingawful forum membership. Joined in 2k2.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I still use the same gmail I made when I was 10, roughly 2005-ish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

E-mail account circa 1994.

EDIT: I just checked. My Amazon account goes back to 1995 for a solid second place.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I have an email address and shell account on a SCO UNIX system that I've had since 1994.

My first one that I still use is my Hotmail account, but now it's just my spam email, but still randomly have to use it to get some login codes and stuff

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not sure when I started my Gmail, but I've been using the same Xbox account since 2009.

Nope! Scratch that. I started my Blizzard account to play WoW around 2005! Still use it for Hearthstone now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure I have a yahoo account rolling around somewhere...
