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

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

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

My Steam and RuneScape accounts are both over 20 years old, and I still use both regularly. Hell, RuneScape is even available via Steam.

As far as the actual oldest account, I think I have an old Yahoo! Mail account from like… Late 1997? Early 1998? Back when AOL was still sending out free demo discs in the mail.

I got my Gmail in 2005, and still heavily use it.

I want to run my own email, but I have soo much tied to it that I'm having trouble knowing where to start...

[-] SloppyPuppy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

My gmail address with my exact full name I registered about 18 years ago by invite only.

[-] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Probably my yahoo mail account. I've mostly transitioned off it, but a few things still come to it and it predates even my gmail account (which I barely ever use either). Apple ID's Hide My Email ability has basically rendered all the other ones pointless though since I can just generate a new fake email address whenever I want to register for something fishy. I wish phone numbers worked the same way.

[-] just_ducky_in_NH@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I made my email account 28 years ago, and still use it daily.

[-] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 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.

[-] maryjayjay@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

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

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Wikipedia user account from 2002.

[-] LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 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.

[-] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Soemthingawful forum membership. Joined in 2k2.

[-] hitagi@ani.social 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.

[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Yahoo. It was from 07

[-] windowsphoneguy@feddit.org 4 points 3 months ago
[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Email from 2001

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 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.

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

Steam Acc from 2005 and YouTube from 2006

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

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.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 3 points 3 months ago

Hotmail is what I use to sign up to things that I don't want to get emails from

[-] doubletwist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 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.

[-] Duberstein@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yahoo email account I opened in 1997.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Nice try Robert from Iran

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 3 points 3 months ago

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

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

[-] thesushicat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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