Does anyone know the oldest account on Scratch that is still active, I'm curious

Me!

On a serious note though, it's probably hard to tell who is actually the oldest based on the fact that users can lie about their age.

I meant time that they joined Scratch

But if you look at someone's profile, there's an indicator of how long ago they joined..

To answer the OP, though, I'd guess probably an ST member's account.

First user that comes to mind to me is Hugmyster, but I doubt he’s the oldest

It could be @eliasm

Maybe mres? He created Scratch and he's still fairly active.

Thought about him, but I didn’t think he was that active
Yeah I guess that might be your answer

I'd say it would be @Paddle2See.

Mres.

In 2003 MIT's Lifelong Kindergarten Group, led by Mitchel Resnick (mres), together with the Playful Invention Company developed the first version of Scratch! This first version of Scratch only ran on a desktop computer, not on the Internet.

There were 103 numbered pre-release Scratch test projects, many with the user name wrgsxhbxvb, that were not shared when Scratch was released.
The oldest existing project, Weekend, project 104, https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/104/ was uploaded by andresmh.

andresmh joined Scratch on 5 March 2007.

As project 104 is the oldest surviving project, andresmh is often considered the first user on Scratch.
He certainly was the first user to share a project.

But xAlu, dito1, thekid, crazyfangirl, Hector, kay, alejandro, gatita, jay, Aardvark, johnm, and jay also all joined Scratch on 5 March 2007 and shared projects later on that day.

mres is sometimes quoted as the second user on Scratch 1.0 but he joined on 7 March 2007.

Note that, of those users, mres and jay are the only ones with any semi-recent activity (mres two weeks ago, jay four months ago). And mres is a member of designing/developing Scratch, of course, so he's always active behind-the-scenes. (Jay is a past Scratch Team member, so he probably doesn't use the site too much anymore.)

It could be @ssss

it is @andresmh

Please don't post on old, resolved topics. That is called necroposting and isn't allowed.

I don't mean to be rude but this applies to you too.
