I've been on ebay for 12 years now - whats your longest online anniversary?

[yoda313]

I just got my notice from ebay that I've been on their for 12 years!

I must have been on dial up back then. My first broadband was dsl but that was about 7 or 8 years ago I think before I switched to cable.

What have you belonged to for a long time on the internet?

For me on this site I've been a member since 2004.

I wish I knew when my yahoo membership started. I had a JUNO email address when I used them for dial up for awhile.

What about you? What can you remember as your first or early internet membership/association that you still have and use?

(fyi I have only about a 100 user feedback on ebay - both as a seller and a buyer, that is a 100 total for the both selling and buying together). I do about 3 or 4 items a year on average - well obviously more for being a 12 year member but sometimes it spikes in usage and sometimes I wouldn't buy or sell anything)

Hotmail 1997ish
I was a Microsoft AATP and got an account right after they purchased it
I just lost my very first account about 2 months ago. The phone it was registered to was no longer valid and their automated recovery system sucks ass. They said i didn't supply the right info

Next in line would most likely be this site

What does that stand for? I'll google it in a second and post what I find. I'm curious.

edit - Is this it? Microsoft Authorized Academic Training Program . I'll read more about it - was it for universities and the like?

I joined Ebay on 1999, I used to work with a company that sold leather pants. They manufactured them in Ecuador and sold them here through Ebay. My job was shipping everything and handling returns.

Last year I received an email (I don't remember if it was from Yahoo or Hotmail, I think it was from Yahoo) thanking me for being a member for 15 years!. I remember opening that mail and saying "Damn... it's been that long?". I opened both accounts at the same time, so one of those companies is really grateful and the other one are just bastards for forgetting it!!!.... lol

And our very own vcdhelp.com, as we (old members) remember it.

Sounds good.

I wonder if anyone remembers when it had that dvdrhelp.com in the logo for awhile there? I don't know when it appeared and was removed. Probably the same time bluray was added which I just noticed. By the way I'm talking about the logo in the upper left hand corner.

Damn you beat me by a year or so! Cool though

I have been a Hotmail user since 1999, I have had several ISP's accounts over the years but I still use Hotmail as my main email provider. My second longest anniversary is here on VH.com, it's been 10 years as of March.
