    An account on Yahoo Mail from around 1997. Still logging in once in a while.

    I still have my AOL account from the mid-90s. It uses my oldest handle, a nickname from when I was a kid. I still use that email as a spam address, for when I have to provide an email address for some passing thing.

    Does Angelfire keep websites up after 30 years of no activity?

    I’ll probably still have some accounts on obscure forums I can’t remember. But something I still use fairly regularly is my Human Paladin in World of Warcraft, he’s almost old enough to drink and drive (not at the same time).

    I think the oldest account I can still get into is on 3wheelerworld.com. I still get my birthday email from them every year.

    I still maintain a Gmail account from their beta test days. I had to get an invite. 2003 or 4ish? Don’t use it for much anymore, but I still have it.

    There’s a Pokemon fan forum that I originally joined around 2004 I believe. They’ve had a relaunch since then, so my current account is “only” from 2009 though. I’m still ocassionally active on there, along with like 5 other users.

    My 24 year old DeviantArt account, probably. Don’t know what I had before that. Oh, and my steam account turns 22 this year, I think.

    I have some Usenet posts from the late 90s that are still there. My oldest actively maintained internet presence is probably my LinkedIn account, which I registered in 2008.

    The oldest one I still use regularly is probably my Steam account which is 17 years old (as of today actually).

    My livejournal account, my email, and my website are all of an age, though the website is oldest. But my submissions on Z2 are my oldest artifacts on an active website.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for ‘how do I?’, type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.

Please don’t post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don’t delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It’s not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it’s not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
