What was your first e-mail address?
 
I'll never forget mine. I got it as a freshman at the University at Buffalo in 1992.

v115maec@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu

Ah, the ol' VAX systems. Back when there was only about 4000 people on IRC globally at any given time and they were all college students.

superiorrain 11-14-2004 02:41 PM

martb@geocities.com way back in about 94 i think.

wonder what happen to it. think i'll go and check now

Cynthetiq 11-14-2004 02:41 PM

so long ago I don't remember...

it was back in 1988 on the UUPAIN systems connecting the BBS world...

grendel 11-14-2004 03:30 PM

i had one back in the late 80s when i was at college (EKU), but i don't remember what it was (but it was one of those VAX system ones, too).

then in '91 or so i had one of those early prodigy ones with all the random letters and numbers - i sure don't remember that one. :)

yournamehere 11-14-2004 03:39 PM

I don't remember - it was with Compuserve back when numbers were assigned, and it wasn't until about 6 months after I signed up that you were allowed to change it to whatever you wanted.

Irishsean 11-14-2004 03:49 PM

Not sure, it was either:

Rabidteddybear@hotmail.com

or

Sebooth@nmu.edu

Sugar&Spice 11-14-2004 03:56 PM

I remember mine. Back when I was in high school probably freshman year and I was obsessed with wrestlers. wrestlerbabe02@hotmail.com

Paradise Lost 11-14-2004 04:30 PM

j22josh@aol.com, this was back whenever AOL 2.5 had just come out. I was like, what, 11 at the time? :P

Rdr4evr 11-14-2004 04:47 PM

I think it was about ten years ago, wideout81@aohell.com I believe.

Suave 11-14-2004 04:48 PM

shatmonkey56@hotmail.com I do believe. Ahhh, so mature and professional sounding. Think I was around 13 when I created it.

molloby 11-14-2004 04:54 PM

molloby@yahoo.com

Ah, good times.

denim 11-14-2004 06:02 PM

I had some address at Northeastern's VAXen in 1982. Don't remember what it was.

SecretMethod70 11-14-2004 06:07 PM

I don't remember what it was, but my first e-mail address was about 9 years ago and on hotmail - before MS bought them up.

amonkie 11-14-2004 06:11 PM

Another one for hotmail, and I could be one of the few people that still have their original account active - but now it's one of 4 email addresses to keep everything nice and organized.

maleficent 11-14-2004 06:19 PM

I had some address about in the late 80s - -no idea what that was though...

Compuserve address when it was numbers only... and an AOL address at the very beginning, my email address was my first name- -with no numbers at all...

sadistikdreams 11-14-2004 06:30 PM

Arenas2@AOL.com

I shared it with my sister, back when we were kids.

Arenasegg@AOL.com was my first personal email.

Coppertop 11-14-2004 06:31 PM

Too long ago to remember. I was through Portal though.

Cicero 11-14-2004 06:56 PM

Back in September of 1996 I had a compuserve address that was all numbers too, but a year before that I had an e-mail address from my college on their Vaxa System? It was my first initial and my last name followed by @jcu.edu.

xepherys 11-14-2004 07:01 PM

I'm fairly sure it was either xepherus@aol.com or jswillia@saturn.oakland.edu.

basmoq 11-14-2004 07:02 PM

I still use mine, basmoq @ yahoo . com

SpikeQX99 11-14-2004 07:05 PM

Still got mine from myownemail.com

LTJ@spyring.com

I use it to foward all my junk mail to. Pretty handy actually.

MSD 11-14-2004 07:06 PM

nvmv00f@prodigy.com

I'm old school.

tspikes51 11-14-2004 07:25 PM

Back in 1997, capital45@yahoo.com.

omega2K4 11-14-2004 09:20 PM

I don't remember. It was a long time ago.

soloist124 11-14-2004 09:25 PM

sng0000069@aol.com like 6 years ago.

onodrim 11-14-2004 10:17 PM

muzicgrl@hotmail.com I think that was the first one, I'm not 100% sure though. :p

pimpercrobian 11-14-2004 10:37 PM

lol like 8 years ago mine was Theman_schnurr@hotmail.com

kinda gay but it worked.

Obtuse 11-14-2004 11:23 PM

cdmage@flash.net. At some point Prodigy bought out Flashnet and it became cdmage@prodigy.com

k925 11-14-2004 11:45 PM

I had one of those three letter, two number, and one more letter addresses at prodigy.com. Something in the form of abcd12e@prodigy.com, but I can't remember my specific address.

Back in 1991 or '92 I think.

I was always envious of the AOL people who got to choose their address, whereas we prodigy people were assigned ours. In the long run, however, I was happy to see that AOL turned out to be a much crappier ISP. :)

mirevolver 11-14-2004 11:52 PM

from high school

richardc@alpha.psd.k12.co.us

Echodork 11-15-2004 12:31 AM

the.deathknight@dctavern.com

The address pointed to a MajorBBS chat board with the "Internet Upgrade." Essentially it let us telnet out, get email, and go into chatrooms with other MBBS Internet-enabled boards.

And yeah, I was like 14 heh.

Ace_O_Spades 11-15-2004 12:33 AM

Mine was prichards@hotmail.com

Good ol unoriginality

joeyaz 11-15-2004 04:26 AM

Mine was off one of those 10 hours of free aol disk we used to get in like 1996. I can remember the exact address it was probably what ever the recommended, kept using those free disk till I ran out of mom's CC's lol

animosity 11-15-2004 05:59 AM

I dont remember... damn, I know it was hotmail, but I can not remember. This is really going to bother me now.

rfra3645 11-15-2004 06:11 AM

i had a prodigy... so long to remember back...

then got aol..


still use the id part of it for well almost evreything...


rfra3645

how many of you kept a id part of an old email???

Redlemon 11-15-2004 06:29 AM

My highschool had a mainframe, so I must have had a username back in 1986. Plus I had one in college, would have been somethingorother@eniac.upenn.edu. Can't remember what they were. I really didn't use email at the time.

Speed_Gibson 11-15-2004 08:02 AM

it was one of those compuserve number deals, and around the same time I also had an AOL addy back in the AOL 2.0/Compuserve 3.0 days.

ironman 11-15-2004 09:30 AM

i got my first one at hotmail back in '95
I still use it to the day.

Averett 11-15-2004 09:43 AM

'96, freshman year at college

firstinitiallastname@averett.edu

Tried logging in when I visited after I graduated and it still worked. Wonder if it still would.... I'll have to try that out next time I go down there.

la petite moi 11-15-2004 10:50 AM

prettysailorusagi@sailormoon.com

Pretty lame, but I LOVED Sailor Moon at the time. That was about.....6 years ago, maybe 7?

merkerguitars 11-15-2004 10:56 AM

damn...I can't really remember first one was an aol account then my parents eventually switched ISP to the local phone company so it was merker@win.bright.net then the company changed owners so it was changed to merker@svtel.net...and we had that for about 9 years then we had to finally give it up cause a different ISP brought dsl into the area.

Gustoferson 11-15-2004 10:59 AM

Oh yes back in the AOL 2.5 days. theeldav@aol.com if i remember right. Haha, I had that thing for years and just realized what when typed out all together like that in an e-mail, rather than the screen name way of "T Heel Dav", it looks more like 'the el dav' or 'the eld av.' Haha, ah well, it has long since been gone. If only someone hadn't snatched TarheelDav before I got to AOL, none of that would've been a problem!

Strange Famous 11-15-2004 11:05 AM

salvatore_luciana@hotmail.com

and

a.douglas@uea.ac.uk

welshbyte 11-15-2004 11:22 AM

Can't remember accurately, but it was (something)@aol.com which i'm not too proud of...

A friend of mine still has his original email address - one of the first thousand to sign up with Hotmail.

As for my first, I guess I'm the only one that remembers my old CompuServe numbers - 75033.1370@compuserve.com ;)

dylanmarsh 11-15-2004 06:37 PM

bubba47@jps.net was my very first email address and then I set up a hotmail account for my mom and then stole the account because I liked the handle.

qweds 11-15-2004 09:30 PM

Deckard 11-16-2004 09:11 PM

blackmercenary@hotmail.com

I chose it when I was young, but found people misinterpreted it for some racial or social connotations so I gave it the flick.

RickB 11-17-2004 12:29 AM

Had a Compuserve address 72656,176@compuserve.com in about 1984 or so. I was in Alaska at the time with a Commodore 64 and a 300 baud modem.

Drider_it 11-17-2004 03:07 AM

miyamotomusashi 12-01-2004 11:20 AM

Monkey13@ what my 1st ISP was. The ISP changed its name about 7 times and i cant rember what it was at the time

vox_rox 12-01-2004 11:55 AM

It was a longtime ago, late 1980's, and the address was 626048@ucdasvm1.admin.ucalgary.ca

Amazing I still remember the arcane thing, nd it no longer works, but there it is.

Peace,

Pierre

rhaevyn 12-01-2004 12:00 PM

My first email was andimck@rocketmail.com. It took me a minute to remember that one; it was back in 1996 or 1997, not sure.

radioguy 12-01-2004 02:37 PM

first year in college, 1995. i think it was tec0001@acs.jove.unt.edu the edu may or may not have been there, that was a long time ago

aurigus 12-01-2004 05:27 PM

somenumber@compuserve.com was my first one - dont recall the number

omid 12-01-2004 06:29 PM

sk8er9494@aol.com

ratbastid 12-01-2004 06:40 PM

rayd@stolaf.edu, back at lovely <a href="http://www.stolaf.edu">St Olaf College</a>.

The year... was 787. No, sorry. The year... was 1992.

Painted 12-01-2004 06:46 PM

fishermanbob@someinternetserviceprov...blycomcast.com

hawkeye 12-01-2004 08:50 PM

I actually still use it for some stuff.

ariekitten 12-01-2004 09:11 PM

i still have my very first email address from like 9 years ago
jupiterkitten@yahoo.com

Rodney 12-01-2004 10:04 PM

<firstinitial-lastname>@sco.com. SCO was an early UNIX-for-Intel provider which now lives on as a zombie shell of its former self, mainly for the purpose of perpetuating spurious lawsuits against certain large companies which have embraced Linux (with support from Microsoft, of course). But in the old days, it was the biggest band of freaks and geeks you ever saw. I remember pushing hard to finish a manual in an darkened SCO building over a Labor Day weekend while some of the developers played Lazer Tag in the halls and argued endlessly over the rules.

My first personal account has been the same for 11 years, (myname)@cruzio.com. Cruzio is one of the very oldest ISPs, started around 1990 and still independent, still serving individual customers as well as business customers.

johnny79@aol.com

Jonsgirl 12-02-2004 12:19 PM

The earliest one I remember was Nuklearwynter@hotmail.com
I was in high school....maybe Junior year....

portereight 12-02-2004 12:43 PM

I had one of the numbers only compuserve addresses in the early '80's when it was little more that a bulletin board. I dialed in via a 300 baud modem on a vic 20 and then a c64. I have no idea what was so interesting on there. I guess the thrill was that it worked at all.

RMMsGirl 12-02-2004 12:48 PM

BluIAngel15@aol.com

That was 5 years ago.

KinkyKiwi 12-02-2004 12:54 PM

hmmm not THAT long ago..it was pupgirl and some number on aol...i had it untill people (guys) started IMing me assuming i was older and umm..slutty...

i changed it to doglover...didnt help much
(no i didnt know what it meant)

alarment13 12-02-2004 01:10 PM

mine was alarment@hotmail.com some 8 years ago, but it got so filled with junk and spam, I have to quit using it. now it is just the address I use to sign up for crap

DDDDave 12-02-2004 02:59 PM

GDW3@aol.com

Don't see any names like that anymore. My initials.

My college roommate worked there since before they were AOL, so I signed up. Been there ever since.

BTW, his e-mail was Rob@aol.com,,,, no doubt not his first but damn impressive still.

powerclown 12-02-2004 03:16 PM

newbieslayer@compuserve.com

I played a lot of Quake 1 online, back then...

snowy 12-02-2004 03:22 PM

Gosh, I can't even remember as I never used it. The first email address I actually used was something like jansenl@hsd.k12.or.us, and my first personal email address (non-school) was something at AOL like spirit11 or some such thing.

Zarazilla 12-02-2004 04:38 PM

Hey, only one person has rocketmail as their first account. :) Mine was zazu1andonly@rocketmail.com I was 12. :D

Rawb 12-02-2004 05:10 PM

Hrm... my first one was a prodigy account, but before prodigy hooked up to the internet, so does that count? I would get on average 25-50 emails a day because I set the prefix of my name to be "Cool" instead of "Mr" or "Ms". People were amazed. Then they started charging for sending messages, so I just deleted most of the mail that came in.

After that, it was a year or so, and I got a job at a local ISP, so I was rawb@utw.com ... shortly afterwards, I regisitered kill-9.net and had rawb@kill-9.net, but then I settled on the address I still have today, rawb@rawb.org (It's totally spam protected, so, let the good times roll) and aoeuhtns@hotmail.com (it's just for spam, so let the good times roll on that one)

/ aoeuhtns is the home row on dvorak keyboards

newMaster 12-03-2004 08:09 PM

Man... that was a long time ago... I think mine was weirdMF75@hotmail.com heh~ Kinda weird email...
