I just realized I've had my Skype account for 13 years now. And I didn't use it whatsoever in those 12 years, only to resurrect it for my trip and use it extensively. My handle (maralf1) still harks backs to the days when I was an exchange student in Israel and the group of Europeans I was hanging out with called our field of study "Master of Alcohol" (thus the "ma").
:lol
I am sure people here can beat me with older accounts.

I think my gamespy account is like 10 or 12 years old, though I haven't used it at all in ages.
-
My fb account, which I've had for 2 years or something.
Before that, I refused to make accounts online out of fear of being trolled by people.
-
I keep a hotmail account open that I've had since 1998. Still have an email from 2000 in it just for shits and giggles.
-
It's a bummer that German universities don't do it like American ones in that you keep your email address after leaving. That was truly my first online account and would be something like 15 or 16 years old now.

I didn't even realize Skype was that old.
-
Probably my Yahoo email and/or Hotmail account. They were both made around 2002.
-
Just this week I closed my net 2 phone account since I hadn't used if since 1998. They actually refunded my balance :lol
-
I still have my first AOL account from when we first got internet in 96 or 97. That said, I haven't gone on it or AOL in probably 10 years.
Aside from that, I've been a registered member on a Star Wars forum (lucasforums) since 2002. It used to be a flourishing community, but now it is pretty dead. There are still a few regulars that post and I check in now and then. I think the earliest forum I joined was sometime in 2001, but one of them reset their user database and shit awhile ago (it was some Zelda forum... still around, but I can't remember which one).
And, funny enough, I've used "ZBomber" as my internet alias ever since that Zelda forum. So I guess this is the 10th year anniversary of my user name. :P
-
I've changed email accounts too many times to keep track of. My oldest online account is probably at eBay, with amazon.com being second.
Just checked, first eBay purchase was April 2000. I think it was an N64.
-
My first forum would have to be Mcleodgaming and I was on it for 3 or 4 years, I've been frequenting Spriters Resource since 2009.
-
Hmm, I don't know if it is still in existence, but it had to be an AOL/AIM account...I don't even know what the first screen name I had was then. Pretty sure it was WWF (WWE now) related, and probably related to Scotty 2 Hotty
Edit: The oldest one I currently use has to be my Yahoo! account. Made it back in '03 or '04.
-
I didn't even realize Skype was that old.
Oooh, I just realized that my OP is wrong. Skype has only been around since 2003, but I used the handle "maralf1" from my original AOL IM account. Gnah! Given that AIM was bought by Google recently, I guess that nullified my oldest account!!!
EDIT: Yeah, that's it. AIM has been around since 1997.

I think my GameFAQs account is like 11 years old at this point but I was permabanned from the forums for saying that snape kills dumbledore :(
-
He does? DAMN YOU!!!

-
I've had my hotmail account since 1998-99.
-
I don't have any really old accounts, since I didn't even have the internet myself until 4 years ago. :blush
My oldest account would probably be mp.com, dating back to early 2005. Yes, I'm a lightweight.
-
My AOL account that I've had since 1996 and my AIM one that I got shortly after that. Neither of which I use anymore.
-
I wonder if I can still get to my old AIM account
-
I still have an AOL account that I occasionally check email on (my mother is the only person who has not accepted the fact that I now use gmail and I also use it for some BS email subscriptions). I'm not sure when I created this particular screen name but I think we got AOL in 1999 or something. Oh man, those days... I remember my first name was Babyfogs85 or something like that :lol
-
My first hotmail is around 12 years old. I still check on it every day but switched over to gmail for more important correspondence.
-
Yahoo mail/messenger/boards account.
1998
-
[H]ardforums account since 1999
Aim account since 1998 (however this probably doesn't count since I'm really on Aim anymore)
-
My hotmail account is from 2000-2001

Are you serious? What an embarrassingly childish thing of them to do. :facepalm:
-
I opened a hot mail account when I was in university. Still use it as my FB login. That would have been created in 94 or 95.
Yeah, oldest so far.
-
My AOL account which is still active goes back to probably the early 90's
-
My hotmail account was set up in 1996.
-
I set up my yahoo account that I hardly ever use but is still in existence back in 1996 and my eBay account is from 1998.
-
Probably my Freewebs account.
It might have been deactivated though because I haven't used that since primary school.
It's about 12-13 years old.
-
I had a hotmail from 94-95 but lost it in one of the msn/hotmail switch overs. I loved that address.
rrhole @ hotmail . com
-
I had older, but the two I still use are eBay and Excite. I joined eBay in early 1998, but I know my Excite account is older. Not sure when I joined,, though, can't find anything on their page that indicates when.
-
I've had an AOL account since 98 or so, but I have no idea what the password is anymore. Since my parents still subscribe I would imagine it is still active. My handle here is also my AIM name, and I've had that since about 2002 or 2003.
-
I've had my email addy for about 14 years now, although it's changed from Comcast to TWC to Road Runner. My CBSSportsline acct is probably as old.
-
This thread just reminded how bad Hotmail's online storage used to be.
Wasn't it something like 2MB?
-
Im only 16, so id have to say it is definitely neopets, lol. Had its since 2002, havent used it since 2002. lol. My longest active account is Zappateers on which ive been a member for about a year.
-
AOL since around 1991, but I stopped using it around 1993. I kept the account for my mother who still uses it to this day.

I love AOL because they were the pioneers in downloadable video games. They originated by selling a product that allowed you to download games to the Atari 2600 over a phone line.
-
probably my Runescape account :P
Either 8 or 9 years old now
-
I've had my hotmail account since 1998-99.
Same. It's not my main one anymore, but I still check it every day.
-
I probably have a hotmail account from 97 or so that may still function. My college email was opening in 99 and still works.
-

It's the GameFAQs forums, that place is like the Lord of the Flies of the internet.
-
:lol
My email is about three years old. I was quite late to the party, stupid drugs. >:(
(I got it so I could join DTF and Yessfans)
-
Probably my hotmail account. I've had it about 7 years. I made it as I realised that the first account I made, made me sound like I wanted to be a superhero or I was up my own ass.
I miss high school :(
-
I still have my AOL account, which I've had for 12 years now. Use the e-mail as an emergency contact in case I lose control of my Gmail account-which actually happened once, damn Chinese WoW gold sellers!
-
My old EZ board account still works. I think that's about a decade old now.
-
We got our first PC in 1997, and I think the AOL account I had back then still exists, though obviously I haven't used it in at least 10 years or so.
-
My Yahoo! account is probably around 12 years old. After that, AIM is probably my oldest.
-
my prsguitarsr4me aol account is from 2000, and I have two older aol accounts (1998) that I don't know the password for - my dad still uses his username (screen name) from that account so those are probably still active
EDIT: yea i just realized my dad's aol and ebay accounts have been active since 1996 - almost 17 years
-
Probably a central for a game that I set up January 2009.
-
I'm pretty sure I've had my yahoo email for 10+ years. Also know I've had the same AIM account (although I never use it anymore) for 12+ years.
-
There's one forum I signed up for in 1997. Wow.
-
prolly my Yahoo email
-
Maybe my aim/aol, for whatever reason my mom still uses AOL and my dad's had the family account since the beginning. My screennames been cramx3 since maybe 7th grade (1998).
-
My hotmail account--I think I signed up for it either in 2003 or 2004.
-
Probably about 5 years or so on The Elder Scrolls forums.
-
Probably my GameSpot account, since 04 I think. Had stuff before that, but can't remember what sites or actually still use them.
For email I started on original dialup AOL (still remember it was pmr45@aol.com lol), then my local ISP, then gmail and hotmail for school, also have a Yahoo account too, but never use it.
-
Play.com 2000. The First time I ever bought anything off the internet.
-
My GFAQS account is probably the oldest. Probably around 2001 (I've been banned from there twice though, so my current account isn't that old).
So, my oldest active one that I still use is (coincidentally enough) the first place that I used the handle, Ultimetalhead: The Megadeth Forums in 2004.
-
Facebook, 5 years
DTF as a runner-up at *almost* 5 years
-
I got an email a while ago from ebay that said Happy 10 years with us, so that would be my oldest.
-
gmail: 2004
ebay: 1998
AOL: 1996 (I actually had an account earlier than that, but cancelled it.)
