fakeyourdrank is still up, so are lot of others like oldironsidesfakes (can confirm they're legit and good quality) and evolvedIDs.
however i wouldn't trust regular domain extensions like .com .net ..etc.
reason why lot of them can operate on clearweb, is cos they use some odd country domain extensions, like .ph .ru ..etc
they use countries that don't give a crap about any take down notices nor copyright laws.
never heard of the forum you talking about though.
you can look for those sites on non mainstream search engines, such as duckduckgo, yandex ..etc.
google haven't removed their results yet, but they're suppressing them, if you specifically search for oldironsidesfakes then google will list it, but if you trying to search directly for things like "buy fake driving license" then google suppresses results, so other non mainstream search engines are better as they don't remove nor suppress results.
Yeah I remember forum.fakeidvendors.com not sure what happened to it. Looks like it just kinda got abandoned not sure what happened there. As for fakeyourdrank they fucked up by trying to accept other forms of payment through an LLC, but they were still just importing from China not actually manufacturing. See https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/two-virginia-men-plead-guilty-trafficking-fake-ids
The other clearnet vendors, including us, are still active on discord here: https://discord.gg/MYzGETWE3A
Wait you guys are trusting Discord of all places instead of something like Session or anything other than the very much rumored full take monitored discord? hope you're using PGP for all messages.
Something interesting is that fakeyourdrank is still very online and I'm wondering who might be controlling it....
Yeah there's like 3-4 vendors in there including us, and all the vendors don't trust it at all. It's only to get the kids that know nothing about PGP, Session, Signal, whatever to hear about us. We don't use it for anything else besides promo and to answer a few questions about payment among other things. All sensitive support requests either go through Signal, email, or our own internal systems.
But yeah the guys that got arrested either gave up control of the site for a lesser sentence or they were able to sell/ give away control to someone else. Either way we wouldn't trust it. Probably a honeypot or just a scam at this point.
The forum used to exist on reddit, on r/fakeid. Fakeyourdrank made the forum as a refuge/marketing. It quickly became over run with ai spam posts, or stupid questions.
You used to be able to literally buy a fakeID by sending an email or encrypted reddit DMs.
TedDanzig, EvolvedIDs, scannableids, idgod, good times.
