I bought a gmail invite from a message board. If this sequence of words makes sense to you, you're old too.

My Hotmail account, which I've had since high school. Oldest email in there is from 2002, but I think I opened it up in 2000.

Probably my 2004 Gmail account, but that’s pushing the definition of “still use somewhat frequently”. I do still have my email forwarded to my current address, but most senders have been updated with my current address.

I lost control of my Hotmail, AIM, ICQ accounts years ago.

Usenet account from 1987. And no, I'm not going to post what it is.

My original Gmail account. I've had it since Gmail was in closed beta.

My Steam account is older though. Fucking thing is old enough to drink now (2003; from when I first had to use it for Counter-Strike when they took down the WON servers).

Any other 21 year old Steam accounts wanna play some Ragdoll Kung-Fu?

I've got a 20 year old Gmail account that I use when I need to sign up for something.

A four letter .com domain name I registered in 2003. Supposedly worth $5000-6000 presently.

Or my eBay account I’ve had since 2001.

I've had my Hotmail amount for like 25 years

Steam account. Made in 2007, back then i used for a random game i bought having a cd key; but I still use it frequently.

A hotmail account from before microsoft bought it

My AOL email. I didn't actually make it, my Dad did and I was so young I literally don't remember a time without it. I still check it despite migrating most of my accounts away.

I have a Yahoo email account from the mid-late 90's...

probably neopets, can't let them starve.

I joined a forum about 30 years ago, and I am still a regular. I can't say the exact date I joined, nor can the forum admins, as things like that were not tracked back then. Even them having my email was a way later add-on.

Possibly my Hotmail, although I'm not 100% sure when I opened it, and I converted it to an Outlook email when that became an option.

Most of the sites I used to use have shut down or migrated to new systems, so my oldest account is most likely my ModTheSims account opened in 2008. I do still use it whenever I'm in the mood for some Sims 2 retail therapy.

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.

ebay. 1998

My hotmail account.

Signed up for it in the closed beta way before Microsoft bought it, was fucking pissed when they did.

It's my 2fa for most of my games and the emergency email for my other emails.

Nice try, Narc

Hotmail. 1997.

Nothing really, I try to switch account and delete old ones every now and again. My oldest account is my bank account.

Gmail since 2002 or something. Steam account if emails don't count.

Edit: Wow account could be older than steam account. I honestly can't remember.

Edit2: Yep, wow account is a 4 years older than my steam. Turns out I lost my first steam account that did not really have any games on it and instead of recovering it I just registered a new one. Doing this research of my own history was a questionable use of my evening but apparently necessary to get it out of my head.

The oldest email in my Gmail account is from March of 2006, but I used to delete regularly so the account is probably a couple years older than that.

I opened my first Gmail account during the private beta (2004). It's not my daily driver account, but I still use it for government stuff like taxes and healthcare. It kinda blows my mind that it's 20 years old.

Hotmail from 1996

Yahoo mail. Although I did literally just delete it off my phone because it was complaining that I didn't check my SPAM messages frequently enough.

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

eBay is my oldest, not sure when exactly, 2001-2002-2003 something like that.

Next is my Something Awful forums account from 2005.

I guess technically that'd be the email account at my employer where I started some decades ago. Before Google and their Gmail was a thing, anyway. Or, livejournal, I guess. ...MySpace... Oof, AOL... Usenet, maybe...

Gah. I'm old.

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

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.

Livejournal, 1999. I think I win.

My Google accounts have been around for a couple of decades now, my Microsoft account about the same amount of time.

Though actually I think the Xbox live part of my account predates the rest of it—iirc they weren't originally linked.

My steam account is about the same age too come to think of it, I remember getting it before hl2 was released

eBay and Amazon are older too actually, maybe made those back in 2002/2003

Does my online banking count? I've potentially had that even longer

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

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

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

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...

YouTube account, since 2009.
