My original Yahoo and Hotmail emails are long gone. Ive tried to get into the accounts and they are deleted. Those would have been around 1998. Other than those, theres a forum Ive been a member of since 2000. Thats the earliest account I can think of off the top of my head that is still active and usable.
that are still active? i meant your oldest existing footprint.
BBS are not really online. They were local networks that basically ceased to exist once the internet in earnest became a big thing in the early to mid 90's depending on where you were. I suppose its possible someone is a fucking military guy or a university guy and has a footprint from the 80's, but for everyone else, the fucking BBS you played trade wars or legend of the red dragon on, wasn't actually part of the internet :)
Stopped using ICQ before 2000 I think. I used to fuck with people so bad on there. My hotmail is from 98 or so. A few boards from 2000 or so are still up, and my Steam account is from the beginning.
