"Can I send this to your personal email?"
"Sure, it's juggalo4life@yahoo.com"
- Well it does say "4life"
- Man, Mine was Prowler587@aol.com (I changed the numbers for leave me alone purposes) and I made it in the 90's when I was like 13. A lot of my screen names at websites continued to be that for several years and one of those sites I still get on and use.
  Only years later as the internet evolve did I ever think to self reflect at how creepy a screen name that was while going around and hanging out in chat rooms. I picked the name because the Plymouth Prowler had just come out and I had it on one of my school folders and I thought the car looked really awesome.
  TLDNR: Plymouth made me look like a creep.
  
  Ten year old me got a beautiful white backpack and made the username whitebag567@gmail.com (numbers also changed), not realizing until over a decade later, that I seemed like a drug dealer.

Yes, ejaculator@hotmail.com is my real email. Dont ask...

I'm 41. My screen name is my AOL screen name from 1996...
- xX_F3ar_da_JaLoPY_96_Xx
  
  Oh wait until xXx_sNIPerbOii_xXx fucks up the whole game
- Yeah I’m 41 and using my old StarCraft 1 name from like ‘98

- Anybody reading this thinking "me too:"
  It's time to ask your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy.
- LOL. Same
- Absolutely the same. I needed an account for Red Alert or something like that (Total Annihilation?) and it's still my gamer tag and screen name.

You may get new and temporary E-Mails but never give up your first one.
- The service stopped and there went the email. Things happen over the decades.

My steam login is Hotmail.....
- Hotmail, now there is a name I haven't heard in a while. we used to troll a handsome guy at work. After people left his desk he'd come over " Guys can you stop telling staff my e-mail is HotMale@hotmail.com"
- Thousands of dollars in games hinging on support for an almost dead domain. Brave.
  "We sent you a recovery email, good fucking luck."
  
  My steam login is a Hotmail account but the email on file is my Gmail account. The Hotmail address is more like a username for steam.
  
  The email itself has likely been updated, I too have a steam login username with an email included. Cool bit of legacy flair though
- Same, recently got my 20 year Steam badge. I can feel my body aging around me.
- When I was graduating college 15 years ago, I wanted to create a professional firstname.lastname email. Outlook.com was starting to get traction and Hotmail was getting phased out, but I was advised to create my professional email under Hotmail.com because it would seem 'more professional'.
  My main email is still the 007 related gmail I created first.
  
  I jumped in on Outlook when it was starting up and got fristname.lastname@outlook.com. I still have a Hotmail account though

Oh, little Billy. One day you will become the xXPussyDestroyerXx!
- They said email, not AIM username.
  
  AIM still exists?

I’m almost 50 and have the same email address made up almost 30 years ago. It was so dark & edgy back then.
I’ve aged better than it has. Luckily I have a separate address for work.
- That would put you at about the mid-90s. Peak millennial/gen-x goth/grunge/nu metal era. Makes sense.
  
  Gen-X Goth / Grunge… Yup That was me.
  Man I miss the ‘90’s
- My first email, almost 30 years ago too, was with an ISP that no longer exists.. My second email was on another domain that no longer exists. I do still have my Gmail account I got when it was invite only, but that one is just my name @ gmail (and you'd think it's cool to manage to grab that one, but I get emails for at least 6 other different people who think that's their address).

Nope, it's in 13 leaks (haveibeenpwned) and full of spam. Though the provider can use it to train their spam filters.
- Those are rookie numbers, I have 45 😎
  
  Woah how?? What are most of them from?
- Good news — no pwnage found!
  Interesting.
  I made that email address when I was 8.
  Though I've been always allergic to putting my main e-mail anywhere. Currently I have 14 active e-mail addresses due to that.

Eventually it will wrap back around to being edgy and cool in an ironic manner:-).
- You give me hope.

Well I got incredibly lucky so I have a firstname@lastname.de address. Why would I ever give that up? 🥰
- Honestly it's so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have firstname@lastname.tld even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.
  
  I envy all of you who have uncommon last names.
  
  unfortunately just firstname-lastname.tld for me but still a very elegant solution

"Yes, that's hax0r-noob-slayer@yahoo.com. With a zero in hax0r. And I should have the test results back to you by end of business."

Kinda bummed no one here is representing EarthLink gang. One of my professors used that email and it was clearly made in like ‘92
- Not to be that guy, but ackshually EarthLink was founded in 1994 and, for all I know, may or may not have offered email yet at that point.
  Also, AOL gang here, we can't be friends.

And my Wi-Fi password is still 6buttwiener9
- Nice.
  What's the SSID?
- Mine is the default password for the first router I got when I moved out. It's just 8 random letters, but they're MY 8 random letters.
  I change the password to it whenever we move supplier, along with the SSID, and all my IOT devices just jump back in

Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don't use google's other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don't remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.

I'm still using my email from before I was 13 (don't tell Google).

Guys, this is just a bot. It wants you to share your email addresses so it can sign you up for spam newsletters...
/s

I have a yahoo address with only five letters.
- Fckme@yahoo.com ?
- I also have a Yahoo address. Yahoo is such a pain in the ass at this point, but what am I going to do, go back and change the email address on every single online account I've made since I was 11?
- Lexam@yahoo.com

I still use ghostinator@hotmail.com for newsletters. I registered it for a beta demo in 1999.
- You're about to get an onslaught of spam. Never post your email in plain text online.

Umm, have a classy username for your official e-mail, and use the teenage one for everything else.

Still using my Gmail from 2002
- It was released 2003, but yeah. My 2004 account is still active, and I have an older Hotmail address
- Same. It helps that I was early enough to have just my name though.
- I took my Hotmail to my Gmail, and I regret it every time it doesn't auto fill or asks me to log in.

Tfw the results for your prostate exam go to xXxB0ngLo4rd_420xXx @ aol.com

I lost my AOL email long ago, that was the first one I remember, but I have lost many more from the decades since. Still got Yahoo! though.

Is this what zoomers think 30 year olds look like?
- Have you worked in a lifeless, joy sucking office job?? Cause that's what you look like after the first week

i've since made a more professional e-mail, but everything remotely to do with personal stuff uses the adress i made when i was 10.

until End
End? Not 'the' end or 'an end'?
- your End

By the magic of paying an actual mail provider instead of using big corpo free ones you can have as many and as varied mail addresses as you want. And they all end in the same inbox. You can even get fancy and register domains and shit to breach into the world of ultimate cool mail addresses.
- Paying for SMTP

Yea......

My first email was Firstname_Lastname@aol.com. When aol became insufferable and a challenger appeared, I made Firstname.Lastname@gmail.com.
Gmail lets you add "."s anywhere and it'll still work, so all my spammy or whatever things I sign up for are Firs.T.Nam.E.L.Astnam.E@gmail.com or some random variation. Makes it easy to delete all the junk.

krillinluv@sbcglobal.net was mine. Retired it a long time ago though haha
Rest in peace, Toriyama (Sayonara, Akira-san)

Mine uses the XxCringexX from like 2007. It's still my main account..

I finally caved and bought a domain name of my last name last year.

I ditched my first email for first.last@domain.com right out of high school.
It was cringe enough that even 18 year old me recognized it.
- I had two email addresses throughout all of highschool. The one I gave to adults if they asked, firstname-lastname@, and the one I used to sign into msn and give to all my friends... I forget the exact address but it was definitely along the lines of "hotpants-sexi.kitty.87@"
  The former is still my primary email. The other one is sitting abandoned since I was 17 and smart enough to realise what a stupid idea it was, but I never deleted it and I can't even remember it.

I‘d still use my gmx address from 2003 if it wasn’t for me opting in the free premium trial (I provided no information) that did not have an opt out option and then they banned my account…

Dude you do not look well for a thirty year old. You a smoker?

Privacy Fix: Search and Destroy Old Email Accounts
- Well, I have 7 Email-ID. I don't know why.
