“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.
Niiice.
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
So many hours at that screen. I actually used to be really good… ranked I think #12 overall. Beat the #1 dude Grrrr… or whatever that French guy’s battle tag was
Hell yeah dude! What a small world.
I used to be called DarkLegacy back on SC B.Net, I made a map called Chaos War with StarEditPlus - UMS – the basis of the MoBA genre (the core gameplay loop of attack move trigger spawning units was later copied into countless maps, including Hero Arena, and subsequently, Defense of the Ancients!)

Make it so.
Sure, Grampa, now let’s get you to bed.

LOL. Same
Anybody reading this thinking “me too:”
It’s time to ask your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy.
My doctor is actually a really pretty woman, she’s not a proctologist but I wouldn’t mind if she was…
Funny, the things you learn you like later in life…
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.
Oh, little Billy. One day you will become the xXPussyDestroyerXx!
They said email, not AIM username.
AIM still exists?
door creak sound effect plays
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.
Oh that makes sense. I’ve always logged in with a username so I wasn’t aware of that.
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’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
In honor of Akira Toriyama and millennials / x everywhere.

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).
Eventually it will wrap back around to being edgy and cool in an ironic manner:-).
You give me hope.
“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.”
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
It’s the one time where I am glad to have a slightly unusual name.
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?
And my Wi-Fi password is still 6buttwiener9
Nice.
What’s the SSID?
I have a yahoo address with only five letters.
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?
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’m still using my email from before I was 13 (don’t tell Google).
