Ask Lemmy

Yahoo email account I opened in 1997.

E-mail account circa 1994.

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

My Discord account, which I've had since the early 2020's.

I made my AOL mail account in 2006 and still use it. I don't use it as my primary email anymore, but I have hundreds of accounts tied to it

I think my Mail account. ~23 to 25 years

Yahoo account from 2003 still use it daily

I've maintained my personal website at the same hosting provider since the turn of the millennium.

Neopets for sure. Followed by Gmail account

My RuneScape account

I still play my runescape account I made in November 2002

My Yahoo account has to be from at least 1999, I remember using it back in middle school.

Technically, my Microsoft account. I created a Hotmail email account around 1997, my first ever online account. At some point, Microsoft merged my Hotmail login with their Microsoft login, and I still use it today; although I've changed the email address to a more current one. Microsoft killed Hotmail a long time ago, in favor of Outlook.

Yahoo Mail from the probably mid 2000s

it was kongregate i believe until that site got basically shut down

its still up and running, but the forums are gone and the chat rooms are gone

DNS reseller account I made 15 years ago. Transferred it to my corp a few years ago and still buy all my domains there.

I made my steam account in 2003 and my hotmail address is even older. Likely 2002. Its almost time for my 15 year pin in CS.

Strangely, the oldest thing I have left is a web hosting account by Strato that I opened around 1999. My dad still uses an e-mail adress he got with his first T-Online account when the internet became available for normal households in Germany in the mid-90s.

My fark account is old enough to drive in the US. I don't think I really use much of anything that old anymore.

I had facebook from the time when it still required a .edu email, though I quit that. I lost access to my hotmail account years ago after dropping it in favor of gmail. I had IRC accounts going back into the '90s, but I almost never use IRC anymore (and certainly not on those same networks (assuming they even still exist)).

I still use a Yahoo account I created back in 95 (I think, it might be a little later).

A 2002 eBay account

My Yahoo Mail was opened the first week of January, 1998. Would be my Hotmail account, but I made my Yahoo account because Microsoft bought Hotmail, and stopped using Hotmail

iTools > .Mac > MobileMe > iCloud. Still on the original address. January 2000.

My memory is terrible, and it doesn't help that I have the world record for the most sites having signed up for (a very nerdy bragging right I have), but it has to be something like one of the Pokemon MMO's, RuneScape, or Furaffinity (RIP Dragoneer). Most of the old places I've been to are gone one way or another, for example I haven't heard from Postopia since the E3 disaster.
