It's time.

Weird place to make this announcement, I know, but most of the places I been around on have been banned already. And this is the one community I been on since even before the days of r/fakeid, plus a lot of you know me and we collaborated on a lot of things for both subs a long time ago.

To start out, I was one of the original mods of r/fakeid. I was one of the only mods on that sub who was around with Zoklet and stuff like that (not a knock on anyone else though, most of our mods had skills that the others out of us didn't have.) I did what I could with it, making a lot of shit work and not work as I experimented with it. It wasn't easy, but we did make a good community in general, even though drama was consistently an issue (as with any sub mostly populated with kids.) We also had a shitton of help from this sub, because honestly without the help from mods of this sub in the early days the fakeid subs would not have been what they were. Those were the days, hard work forever paid...

And for all these years, I was the one constant that stayed on, even while everyone else came and went as they turned legal drinking age. I basically started working the sub as a new account, and I realized that it's been 4 years since I registered here. God damn.

Recently, the chain of events on reddit has made me realize that it's probably time to go, and I have been secretly talking to other mods and senior members about taking over the fake id community, and for me to slowly retire. I already have my other alts for browsing this subreddit, so there's no real need for me to stick around anymore. Today, the fakeid community's alternate subreddits were banned by reddit (and realizing that there was a lot of things that had to be done before the community could go back to normal at all no matter reddit or somewhere else), and that was the final straw.

It's been a good run, but this day was coming eventually. I had my good times, even though often I was just seen as rather strict and out of touch. And a lot of you probably don't even like me that much, and you have your reasons. Which is okay, I won't hold grudges here against anyone on this forum or anything similar. As for those of you who like me, I'll still stick around sometimes, but not as someone you would know. Running a subreddit was fun, but it also brought a shitton of paranoia that I just want to be done with.

You can ask me some questions before I deactivate this account in a day or so. Otherwise, nice to have talked to all of you.

Goodbye.

I've talked to A LOT of people in this community, some may not have liked you or thought you didn't like them, but the common opinion was that you were always a straight shooter and someone to count on. That 2nd subreddit likely wouldn't have come together like it did, even if it was for a short while, if it weren't for the work you and waka did. I don't know if the fakeid community will EVER be like it was, but I thank you for the time that we had. I hope whatever you choose to do in life treats you right, my man.


[27 Points] CookyDough:

Would you care to write a brief (or long if you like) history of the fake id scene as you knew it? An overview, say? I'm always interested in the history.


[10 Points] KingForgeCS:

Love you kid. You know where to find me. Thanks for everything and we will always be friends.

Also can someone PM me where we are going from here


[5 Points] HugBunter:

Hi, I implore you to consider Dread as a new option, it's one of the main reasons I decided to develop sub community capability, rather than limiting it to security discussion.

/u/Axaq has setup both /r/fakeid and /r/fakeiduk there now so you could contact him, he was the head mod of the UK fake ID sub as far as I am aware.


[6 Points] Mad_Spectral:

Thanks for keeping us in the bag. If you were gone, we'd be everywhere. I appreciate it

As someone on the inside I'd thought the opposite. You were always pretty chill.

I'm talking to some of the others. We aren't sure either. They even axe'd the smaller subs for fakes, seems like they got them all and are going to keep at it.

What gave you paranoia?


[2 Points] Monarchy11:

I always respected you as a moderator (which I can't say for many of the other moderators that were on that subreddit.) Good luck in your future adventures, sad to see you go though.


[2 Points] beanheadmagee:

Bye Red, it's sad to see you go but I want to thank you on behalf of the entire r/fakeid community for every minute of work and effort you put in as a moderator. Enjoy retirement old man.
