    I bought a gmail invite from a message board. If this sequence of words makes sense to you, you’re old too.

      Ditto - oldest email I still have in archive is from Nov. 2006 so at least that old

      Mine was from a chain of random people posting their invite links on Slashdot. It feels like ancient history now.

        I still have a Slashdot account from 2009. Haven’t been on there much in years though. Google would probably be my oldest actively used account as I still use the one I set up with the initital invite.

      I got an invite to Gmail when I was in university. Sadly I was at inbox zero for quite some time so I don’t have the Welcome to Gmail email anymore. It’s more than likely my oldest active account. I do have a Neowin account that still works from 2002 but I don’t frequent anymore. Macrumors is my most active old forum account, that’s from 2005. I had an ancient AIM and ICQ account but there’s no way I could remember the account details.
