Need to make one of my old Yahoo emails, but...

[bonjour]

I've always had problems with yahoo, it pisses me off more than neopets lag right now.

So I need to get into one of my old old old emails, but, whenever I try to log in it sends me to a verification page. Then when I go next it says this:

"Your Yahoo account has been de-activated
Your Yahoo account has been inactive for an extended period of time and is being recycled. If you need a new account, please sign up for a new one."

Okay, NBD. I go try to make the same one.
I put in my birthday (I'm 18), it goes to a page saying I'm too young to make a yahoo account.

Okay...
I put in a fake birthday (making me about 10 years older)
Then it says my username is unavailable, so I can't make a new one.

I've tried deleting my cookies/cache, tried remaking it a million times, tried doing it in a different browser.
I'm a noob, help me, what do I do?

Did you check to see if it actually got created when it gave you the bday erro? @(you need an account to see links)

Yes, each time
