Old Stuff

Hey guys,

Recently, something made me want to find one of my oldest email addresses (one that has all my stuff from 05-07). I have no idea what got a hold of me. Maybe it's nostalgia or maybe I've just gone crazy.

My first ever email address was actually on aol but it seems that it was terminated along with my internet subscription (if you can call it that) a long time ago. I must have been 12 years old when I was using that email. I can remember trying to pick up 18 year old chicks back then -_-

Anyway, after discovering that I couldn't peek into my past due to aol's betrayal, I searched for another email address.

I searched on google for my old aliases and whatever other traces of my presence I could find. I found a website and (surprisingly) I was able to access my account on it using a password I still use today (my old school ID, which you will never discover). I haven't been on the account in (obviously) years. Once I was in, I looked for the email address I used to create the account. I went back to Yahoo, and entered in the email address. SUCCESS! I got in!

I clicked on mail, clicked on "last" (to go to the last page of emails ) and what did I see? Nothing from before 09! All my shit was deleted! Alas, my journey ended in sorrow.

Also, while searching for my old email address, I remembered that I went on some website to send myself an email that I was supposed to receive two years ago. Now I'll never get it.

Care to share any similar stories?

 

I did this same thing to find passwords to old Rs accounts of mine, and it led me to an old Yahoo account.

When I tried to login, though, Yahoo explained to me how they had deleted my inbox due to inactivity, and how I could have it reset again.

Needless to say I didn't find that password I was looking for Account is still lost.

 

My oldest email I have is from January 2007 from YouTube, I used to routinely delete emails, until I just stopped one day.
