What is old-account.com?
+
A playable parody of a 2009 desktop. You can try to log in to your old account, fail the account recovery wizard, vote for the dead platform you miss most and browse a GeoCities-style homepage. It is made by Quavon to show off the products below.
Can I recover my old account here?
+
No. Nobody can. The recovery wizard always fails on purpose. If you need an account that works, try TixFin, Enclessa or Jackpoll.
Who made old-account.com?
+
Quavon, a software studio in Rosenheim, Bavaria, that designs, builds and runs websites, web apps and SaaS platforms for businesses, clubs and creators in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
What is TixFin?
+
TixFin is ticketing software for clubs, associations, venues, promoters, conferences and festivals. Organisers sell through their own branded ticket shop with reserved seating and QR check-in, and payments go directly to their own Stripe, Mollie, PayPal or Adyen account.
What is Enclessa?
+
Enclessa is an EU-hosted collaboration platform with team chat, end-to-end encrypted direct messages and video calls, plus optional boards, time tracking and personnel records. It is built for teams that handle confidential work, such as public bodies, healthcare, legal and engineering teams. It is in open beta.
What is Jackpoll?
+
Jackpoll is a free, open-source survey and quiz builder with fifteen question types, live word clouds, auto-graded quizzes, live quiz games and real-time results. Teachers, researchers, event organisers and teams use it.
How does the prank link work?
+
On old-account.com/troll you type a friend's email. You get a link whose preview says we found their old account, with a masked address like m•••••@g•••••.com and a last login from 2009. When they open it, they land on old-account.com.
What happens to the email I type into the prank tool?
+
Nothing leaves your browser except three characters: the first letter of the name, the first letter of the domain and its ending. Every mask has the same length, nothing about the prank is stored, prank pages are excluded from search engines and analytics records them only as /found/*. It is designed to process as little personal data as possible.
Is the dead-platform poll real?
+
Yes. Votes are counted live while the site runs, one vote per visitor. Results reset when the server restarts. For surveys that last, use Jackpoll.
