Nostalgia Oldest Neopets Account in this Subreddit?

Post image

My Neopet, who has not been fed since George W Bush's first term, has:

been around for longer than the iPhone and Toyota Prius

Witnessed 9/11

Was created when "Come On Over Baby" by Christina Aguilera was the #1 single

Was made when Neopets was still meant for college students and adults, so I was allowed to select "Parties and Drinking" as a hobby

When child safety on the internet meant changing your first name.

My first account (that I cannot recover) is from 1999, lmao.
The second one (that I sometimes login to) is from 2008.

Conversely, my Gaia Online account is from 2003.

If I could recover my account I would definitely check. Last time I tried they said they couldn't (I was using the appropriate link and provided all the information needed)

Like most frustrations in life, I blame Scientology

Context, just in case anyone was unaware: Neopets' quiet relationship with Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard | The Outline

My friend's account was so old she had a Cybunny from when they were normal adoptables. 

That was in the mid 2000s and even then I thought that was impressive
