What was your first e-mail address? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

MikeyChalupa · 11-14-2004, 02:04 PM

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.

-Mikey

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

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.

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

rfra3645

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.

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