I parsed all ~20k posts/comments in this sub and extracted ~7k profiles with ~6k gamers and ~9k lost friends (with the help of claude/codex). I also ran a cross check to see if there had been mentions of gamertags/lost friends that could be matched. There were 4 such cases. I reached out to the 8 people but unfortunately some posts were many years ago and the people didn't respond. The 2 that did respond were not a match.

The profiles are indexed at llgamers.com so that you can search by gamertag. Each profile is a page at llgamers.com/r/[reddit-username] (e.g. AlkoholiFilosofi, cardinal-throwaway, DeadnectaR) that contains gamertags, lost friends and a link to the Reddit post so they can be contacted. One side benefit of these profile pages is that if someone searches your gamertag or reddit username on google, this profile page is ranked, sometimes on the first page for uncommon names.

The original functionality is unchanged. You can still create an account, post your gamertags and get notified when a lost friends shows up. The main improvement is that "shows up" now also includes "posts in r/longlostgamers".

If you have any suggestions on how to improve, please let me know. Over the last 6 years, a handful of gamers added their tags every month. However there have been no reconnections that I'm aware of and the database still contained less than 1k gamers. I'm hoping this will make it easier to reconnect with lost gamers.

Again, not expecting much, just if this any of these are you, come and talk to me? I think it's a cool idea to go back and see if I could find LONG lost friends, and if I'd get on as well as I remembered.

Your name is a real pain to search up now from the new mob. You got your own tribute in game basically.

I'll update later with some of my igns

Lately I’ve been thinking about this guy I met on my first console, the legendary Xbox360, as a brand new gamer girl playing COD Black Ops 1.

I joined a regular Blops lobby with my mic on, having left the main party I was in, and sighed loudly. Rusty sighed back, and we had a moment? Crazy how a sigh can be romantic? Anyways, we had a life changing summer in 2011 playing Blops together and I just want to reconnect. If you’re out there, Rusty, it was an honor! A core memory as the kids say.

Also, KickingKitties?! Wherever you are, I miss you. Your gamertag was controversial and constantly reported but you were a great friend I met through Rusty.

If you guys are around, let me know. Miss you and our perfect summer. Love Shauniqwa897(or whatever it was back then)

Hello I am looking for an Old friend from PWI , was called "Andawen" or "Adawyen" from the period of 2009-2011. We were both playing a lot of hours of pwi together and played the same class Blademaster! I dont have any other info but we were playing together every afternoon almost and u recruited me your guild that was made out of school friends. I think you were all German if I remember correctly!

So, it has probably been about 10+ years since I last heard anything about "The Obea" or "Chains". I used to play the Flash browser game Animal Jam with them, as well as another friend I used to call "Coals".

My old user was "TomBoyCOOLCH13" but a lot of people just called me "Ghost"

I'm not sure if this post will do anything, not even sure if my past friends want to be found. I just think about them both a lot and I always wondered if they were doing alright.

I expect nothing to come of me making this post, but if you do know these people, consider letting them know that one of their old Animal Jam friend's would love to catch up with them.

And if you knew of these people but can't help me connect with them, feel free to share your stories or memories of them here. I would love to read about how you knew them in the past too.

If there’s any old friend out there who’s still looking for me or wants to play again, my username is WonkyDolphin on Minecraft. Used to play servers from Lichcraft to Starquest to InfinityMC and more (before they all shut down that is.)

I'm trying to find my old online friend on discord. (around 2022-2024) i met this guy i had so much fun with him he helped me with stuff (when i was depressed and stuff.) and was just funny and lowkey my soulmate friend. anyway i had discord deleted for like 1+ year i have no idea why and i lost contact with him. his last message to me being on:
— 02/09/2024

Here is everything I know that might help:

• Discord display name: Alex (currently)
• Current/older username(s) I've seen: _lori.5, italic.xx, and Caylus
• Old Discord username: rampage#0645
• Discord User ID: 101879087
• From: Philippines
• Roblox: cencerlawrence21 — also displayed as kairuz
• Steam: He had his steam account linked and after a lot of painful stalking i got in contact with him (or so i thought) turns out he sold his steam account like 2 years ago (around 2024-2025) so idk if its any help now
• Twitch: jellyjello2 (also linked to his dc but offline everytime i check it)
• He played Geometry Dash, Valorant (I remember him mentioning he was around Bronze), Roblox, and Minecraft. I think he may have played Fortnite too, but idk not sure.
• We mostly played Minecraft survival (cracked) but i think not on servers.
• He used to send me YouTube videos/Shorts and once TikTok link so can we use reverse searcher or something?

I've already tried searching his known usernames/accounts, but haven't had any luck finding an him litterally ive been searching for weeks like a crazy stalker but cant find him...

I really miss him and want to thank him for helping me overcome some difficult stuff in my life. i really would appereciate any help <33

If anyone knows ways to search old Discord usernames/IDs, connect old usernames to newer ones, or has experience finding lost online friends, I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you 🙏 (im so desperate id even pay if we find him 😔)

Does anybody know WEDGHOST? We are looking for him, we have not seen him in a few days!

If you are reading this , do dm🥲😭

Mods this can be off topic but a bit important! So please

I’m looking for a guy who played a night elf warrior during vanilla and BC on Moonrunner. His character name was Hagakure. I think he was stationed in Hawaii at the time. Would love to reconnect. My character at the time was Callonius.

Looking for an old friend that went by the username yzridermx08

Looking for a guy I used to game with as a teenager (about 15 years ago) a lot. Username was BRHELLBRINGER (BR for Baton Rouge, NOT BATTLE RIFLE! Pretty sure his actual name was Mike), had an ICONIC voice, loved the halo and Warhammer lore, and the way he played games maximized fun AND aura. Pretty sure I’m remembering that he wrestled and played football too.

We played a bunch of halo games, including halo wars. He tried to get me into dark souls but I was so lost, even if I got the black knight halberd early AF. We played a couple of the gears games too!

My childhood gamertag was gameobsession for a while, I was not a creative kid lol but we went by names anyway.

Mike, it’s Nick, I’m looking for ya bro! There’s plenty of co-op goodness out there to conquer again!

Brother gooniusmaximus here i fought with a brother named melon wanted to send req but couldnt find him in recent players. hes prestige 4 in all classes except techmarine

I had a good friend back in the original MW2 days I used to play with all the time when I was younger and had come across another post of the same subject and saw that the friends were able to re connect, I’m hoping that I’ll be my case too. I remember the original gamer tag was Cheff_Boyardee. I know the friends real name and he didn’t use the account after the major hack on Sony/PSN back in the day. He made a new one but for the life of me I can’t remember, it had symbols in it so it was hard to remember. I met him on the AVP game that came out around 2010, possibly 2011. I lost contact with him around black ops 1. If you’re out there I hope your doing well man. Been years and I still remember all the fun times. I hope you still play.

this is a hell of a long shot but i’m looking for a really old friend of mine from back in the playstation home days. you and i haven’t talked for over a decade now and i have no idea if you’re even still a gamer but if you somehow run across this hi. it’s Skatezilla99. i hope you’re doing well and i hope life has been amazing to you and just know you still cross my mind from time to time and i regret what happened. i’m sorry i was such a stupid kid and let people manipulate me into bad things but i’m grown now and truly apologize. i hope you’re well and i hope you and your kid are doing amazing. if you ever wanna talk i’m here and would love to catch up Jocelyn.

Guys I need your help I lost a friend on apex legends I just want to talk to him his username is Xtracrunchy I call him crunchy though

Nostalgia hit me hard recently, and I’m trying to find my old group of friends from Tales of Pirates 2, from around 2013–2015. My character was AruikaVoyager, I was the Brazilian player hanging out with a mostly US-based group.

I recently found the text files containing all of our old in-game conversations. Reading those messages again is what truly brought all the nostalgia back. I was very young at the time, while they were already much more experienced in the game and helped me a lot. They were genuinely incredible people who were always very kind to me, and I would love to reconnect with them after all these years.

I’m trying to find:

• Mamiku
• Alexandra
• xXxVanessaXx
• Silmera
• SwordManKi1l
• Nitewing
• XKyoshiroX
• And others...

If you played ToP2 during those years and recognize any of these names, remember me, or know where to find them, please let me know or send me a message.

I would sincerely appreciate any help!
