    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)).

      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

    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.

        I think my AIM account is still technically active even though they shut it down. Don’t know what they did with all the accounts.

        Didn’t ICQ recently shut the service down? Thought I saw a headline along those lines recently.

            Somehow I can never seem to forget my ICQ number. 28493804. I have no idea why that’s always in my brain, but it is.

      Probably slightly less, Youtube came out publicly in 2005. But good call, that might be mine too. Or the Hotmail account I used back then.

          Copyright-strike the video and they’ll delete it without checking. And since you can’t log in to contest it, it’ll stay down

        Mine’s about the same age, 97 or 98. Log into it very infrequently but it still works.

        Everything else I recall having an account on from the late 90s no longer exists.

    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.
