Current Events > Is your GameFAQs account oldest active account you have on the internet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

21 years. Less than 3 years out of the 90s. I was posting in the same room in the same position, on a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop. I paid $3000 for that piece of garbage.

I can imagine myself in this same spot in 2 more decades or dead. Whichever comes first. Maybe dead in this spot and no one thought to look for my body.

I may still be able to get into my college email from 1993, but I doubt it.

Maybe if they didn't kill AIM, it'd be that.

No, it was some local forum / message board which i can't even remember the name.

My account is 18 years old today.

I think I might have a yahoo account that's older than this account. I still have all the login details and everything too.

I've got an AOL email from the late 90's early aughts but other than that yep

Not quite if you count real life accounts that also apply on the internet. My bank account and frequent flyer account are older, still in use, and primarily accessed online nowadays.

If you don't, then yes. I've even changed emails since then.

I think so, my account will be 20 years old in a couple weeks.

Yes. Anything else is long since dead by this point.

i still cringe when ppl are like well my main is better

I'm on my third main bank account in the past 20 years. The email I use for this account isn't the original since I had a different ISP back then. Don't remember changing it.

Almost certainly. I suppose my original email would be older, but I couldnt remember how to get into that thing if my life depended on it.

I still maintain my old aol account from the mid-90s as my designated spam email.

Probably second. I still use the email account I used to set it up.

No. If we exclude ones that still exist but I never use, my oldest is probably my Steam account.

2nd.

MySpace was the first one in 2006. Back then MySpace didnt use email verification so I made up a 3-letter email address. That was impossible on MSN.

You still have access to it?

I had a myspace but that didn't exist until 2003. Not sure if mine's still around.

Nah, my hotmail account is, followed closely by my Everquest account since I go back and check out EQ1 and 2 on occasion

Unless you count an email account, sure.

Nope, my main Neopets account is a bit over 23 years old now. Also I've still got e-mails from 1999 in one of my accounts.

Ive been at my current job since I got home from the military in 1999. I had to have an email and login account there when I started June 28th 1999. All my other accounts on the Internet stem from that account. In fact I use that email for my gamefaqs account.

I didnt use the Internet when I was in the military. We didnt have access to it on my ship at that time. It wasnt until I got home and started my job that I was introduced to the Internet.

Do Yahoo/Google email accounts count?

Maybe steam?

I dont think I have access to that old account anymore anyway.

Yes

Nah.

It's in the top 5 though.

Yeah, my hotmail account is close but I checked and the earliest emails I have on there are from 7/01

Yeah probably

Facebook

My hotmail account is older.
Until a few years ago, there was still a message board I sometimes posted on that I had visited since 1998.

This is my oldest account. The only older accounts are long retired AOL screennames that probably got purged from their database 20 years ago.

hotmail is prob older tbh

my aol account is slightly older

Nah, still have an AOL account.

This would be my oldest account, yeah.

my oldest account ever was prob my elementary school account but it prob doesnt exist anymore.

oldest that still active is one of my runescape accounts from 2005. i did lose access to this account for about a decade cuz someone stole my password but i managed to account recover it w/ some small details i remember about it

yes

My email is four years older.

Ebay account from 1998.
Amazon account from 1999.

So nope.

It legitimately might actually be the sad part is I didn't make an account until 2006 but had been coming here since 99-00

My AOL email still exists and that's gotta be pushing or even over 30

Mine is probably my AdventureQuest account or my Runeacape account. Or my GaiaOnline.

no my email is older as i needed it to make a gamefaqs account

Yeah

I think my b.net account is older, but I can't recall if I had to make a new b.net account between my D2/BW/WC3 days and WoW so maybe not.
