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.

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

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

Yahoo email account I opened in 1997.

[–] doubletwist@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 2 points 3 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.

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

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

My RuneScape account

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

Yahoo Mail from the probably mid 2000s

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 3 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 3 months ago

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

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Yahoo account from 2003 still use it daily

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think my Mail account. ~23 to 25 years

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

Just missed my ICQ account which was about 27ish years old. Ok it wasn't in frequent use.

My gmail account has been in continuous use since 2009, although I use it less now that I used to.

[–] MacAttak8@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Neopets for sure. Followed by Gmail account

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 3 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 still use a Yahoo account I created back in 95 (I think, it might be a little later).

[–] padge@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 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

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 3 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 3 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 3 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 3 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.

[–] Mushroomm@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

I still play my runescape account I made in November 2002

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

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.
