“Can I send this to your personal email?”
“Sure, it’s juggalo4life@yahoo.com”
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.
Yes, ejaculator@hotmail.com is my real email. Dont ask…
I’m 41. My screen name is my AOL screen name from 1996…

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!)
O/
Make it so.
I have no doubt I would have played that. Loved the custom map scene and have been addicted to TDs since then. Sounds like you made a much bigger contribution than I did lol.
Without the players, there is no game, everyone’s got a part to play ;))
Sure, Grampa, now let’s get you to bed.
For Aiur!!!
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.
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.
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
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.”
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.
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 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?
I’m still using my email from before I was 13 (don’t tell Google).
Still using my Gmail from 2002
I took my Hotmail to my Gmail, and I regret it every time it doesn’t auto fill or asks me to log in.
Same. It helps that I was early enough to have just my name though.
Tfw the results for your prostate exam go to xXxB0ngLo4rd_420xXx @ aol.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.
