Nice try Robert from Iran

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

[–] thesushicat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Facebook, 2004. Gmail, 2005. Still use both of those accounts.

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

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

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] padge@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Yahoo account from 2003 still use it daily

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think my Mail account. ~23 to 25 years

[–] Mushroomm@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I still play my runescape account I made in November 2002

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] merari42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

My RuneScape account

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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)).

[–] beefbaby182@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You're like the one guy I know that actually made an account on Fark

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] MacAttak8@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Neopets for sure. Followed by Gmail account

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're still using your neopets account? What's going on over there these days, I don't think I've used it since the early 00s

I think a spare email I use for peripheral stuff is from mid-late 1990s. Maybe 1996.
