Bye bye Yahoo! account. Post a coin you had for a long time that you had to say goodbye to.

I registered with yahoo in 1997. For the most part I was only using it for Fantasy Sports and email. Apparently, it has been a while since I logged in(the last fantasy team I had was 2014). I got an email from them on my regular non-Yahoo! email basically asking if I was still alive since it has been so long. I decided to see if I had anything important I have missed. I had 1374 spam emails and 2 real ones(from Yahoo!)! It was time to part ways with that account. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of coins from the past, but one that comes to mind is an 82-S Morgan. It had a pl obverse with toning that looks like the sun was rising behind Ms. Liberty. An orange-yellow glow. Loved that one. If you do have a pic of a special coin you "touched and went your separate ways" with, please show it! :)

    Still have mine. I use it for the sole purpose of giving out when someone/something asks for services/ads/junk responses. Checked only when Yahoo checks to see if I am alive. LOL :D:)

    Me as well. It's the account I give to people who don't know how to behave on the internet.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I used to buy a coin rarely, VERY rarely, from their website years ago. I haven't used them, for anything, for a long time.

    I wouldn't get rid of the yahoo account but instead use it as a dead letter account if you don't already have one currently. Give out that yahoo address to people or businesses that require an email address before giving you the information that you request.

    Successful BST transactions with lordmarcovan, Moldnut, erwindoc

    Yahoo Mail was the best webmail on the internet—15 years ago. It’s been downhill ever since.

    How did they destroy it? By trying to “improve” it. Just like eBay.

    Searched yahoo and coin and one of the first results was a stock with ticker CCTL last traded at 0.0004. Think I will stay away. ;)

    The OP asked about posting coins and so far none have been posted.
    I didn't want the thread to go "POOF" without a few pics.

    Yahoo! Was a potential 2020 platinum coin design. :o;)

    In my area, Yahoo will no longer support IE. They changed me over to the old Classic email. I can deal with it but it's not fun.

    I still rock my 1995 mindspring email account. 99+% spam, ha!

  • CCGGGCCGGG Posts: 1,267 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Still have my Yahoo email account (late 90's) and still use it as my primary. GMail (~5 years) is my backup but I have been thinking about switching that around.
