Anybody reading this thinking "me too:"

It's time to ask your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy.

You may get new and temporary E-Mails but never give up your first one.

[–] SlopppyEngineer 3 points 8 months ago

The service stopped and there went the email. Things happen over the decades.

My steam login is Hotmail.....

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago

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 [email protected]"

[–] RealFknNito 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Thousands of dollars in games hinging on support for an almost dead domain. Brave.

"We sent you a recovery email, good fucking luck."

[–] LemmyFeed 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

Same, recently got my 20 year Steam badge. I can feel my body aging around me.

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

That would put you at about the mid-90s. Peak millennial/gen-x goth/grunge/nu metal era. Makes sense.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Gen-X Goth / Grunge… Yup That was me.

Man I miss the ‘90’s

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 😎

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

[–] gedaliyah 18 points 8 months ago

"Yes, that's [email protected]. With a zero in hax0r. And I should have the test results back to you by end of business."

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Well I got incredibly lucky so I have a [email protected] address. Why would I ever give that up? 🥰

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Honestly it's so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have [email protected] even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I envy all of you who have uncommon last names.

Nice.

Kinda bummed no one here is representing EarthLink gang. One of my professors used that email and it was clearly made in like ‘92

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] clearleaf 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I have a yahoo address with only five letters.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I still use [email protected] for newsletters. I registered it for a beta demo in 1999.

[–] Anticorp 5 points 8 months ago

You're about to get an onslaught of spam. Never post your email in plain text online.

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

Still using my Gmail from 2002

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

It was released 2003, but yeah. My 2004 account is still active, and I have an older Hotmail address

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

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.

[–] jaybone 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is this what zoomers think 30 year olds look like?

[–] diffcalculus 3 points 8 months ago

Have you worked in a lifeless, joy sucking office job?? Cause that's what you look like after the first week

[–] KpntAutismus 4 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] dustyData 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

End? Not 'the' end or 'an end'?
