Your Many Online Accounts
Has it ever drove you nuts, thinking of all the accounts you created on different sites over the years of surfing the internet? How many different ones do you have and how many do you think you've completely forgotten about? I know on some of my obsessive compulsive days, I'll run around trying to update profile information and trying to remember accounts I had (and don't use anymore), so I can delete them and I won't have that "cluttered" feeling.

Number of forum profiles: 2
Email addresses: 5, one of which I actually never used or created. Great is not it?
I have had a few more addresses, but I used them for other purposes.

I've registered at hundreds of sites but usually never return based off of the attitude in the forums or other reasons. The important sites are bookmarked in a favorites folder and I surf them as regularily as possible.

I have 12 email accounts. Post on about 5 forums. There are probably over 100 accounts that I don't use and forgot.

I know I have like 3 website floating around out there somewhere beside the 2 that I update. I kept forgetting the site name right after I created it. I've got like 8 email addy's but only actively use like 3 of them. It's no telling how many places I've registered at and forgotten about. Probably in the upper 100's....

I have no idea. I still get emails from people I don't even remember how or where I met them online. LOL! I used to have alot of free time...so I was all over the place. Now I don't....so I'm not. Doesn't bother me at all.

I have a hard time using the same Username/Password combo because Duke is a really popular online ID for some reason.

Heck, I even use the same passwords for a few accounts. Most of the time though, I'll make all my passwords similar but with small unique twist to them... that way I don't get e-jacked and I still remember them.
