10 years for mine.....if only I'd known at the time I'd end up being a nurse I wouldn't have chosen a name with 'death' in it. But I was 12 at the time 😛 So oh well
 
I had an ICQ number in the 120,000 range back around 1996, but I'll be damned if I can remember it. I think that it was a requirement to join a Quake clan or something.
 
I've had my AOL (now AIM) screen name since I was 12. So that's 14 years now.

I also have a Hotmail account that has been active for a decade.

I signed up for ICQ around probably 1996 and I still use it. This particular screenname I'm using now is only about five years old though.
 
Have had one since 94. Used it with AOL, Hotmail, ICQ, Yahoo, etc. ~14 years I guess.

I've got a 209xxx ICQ number. Tried to get into in recently but I couldn't remember the password. Maybe it was cracked.
 
alkemyst since prior to 1992...I was using that before that but I cannot find anything older with a date on it.
 
When UO first came out is when I first started using Gothgar, so '97

I had an old ICQ number 117560 or something, so early '96 maybe?

I used some other name for AIM back in the early 90's but I can't remember what it was...

Sold the boat Wednesday but I am keeping the name.

What's wrong with Oldsmo ? 🙂

On a boating site where I am Admin, I did change it to "oldsnoboat". :laugh:
 
My parents' AOL screen name (and therefore my screen name, I was only 10) was Eeezee. I have maintained it ever since (that was 1995)
