I shared a folder of some stuff with a friend quite a few years ago, mostly game mods and I'd completely forgotten that the entire contents of my vore folder were buried in an innocuous folder called something like ''texturepack_0072 'hidden within a load of sub-folders full of legitimate game textures.
After realising what I'd done I panicked and prayed he wouldn't notice this 'ticking time bomb',
But obviously he did, Next time we spoke I got a whole bunch of questions about the 'weird shit' he'd found and some very strange looks.
I did my best to shrug it off completely, denying all knowledge of it, and telling him I'd just downloaded all those mods from a bittorrent and the folder must have been buried inside for whatever reason - I'd not even bothered to check all the contents and this was the first I'd heard about this 'weird shit'. "Just delete it" I told him, and hoped that was the end of it.
Still not sure to this day if he believed me or not, but since then I've been ultra-careful, keeping all my vore stuff on an external HD, buried within dozens of innocuous subfolders, inside a RAR folder that's password locked.
Honestly, the folder-chain isn't that effective as it once was (if it was ever effective to begin with). Any gallery software would automatically probe them (and you could open them up by clicking the wrong thing), and file listing utilities, like OSX's find utility, would scan through until it found a hit, and list out the long, meandering path.
yeah on OSX i used to hide my stuff in the package contents of apps. but the problem was that i labelled everything numerically in comics. so, one day, the issue comes up that i'm doing math in the spotlight search. you type in 11 and suddenly you're met with one hell of a mawshot in public. so... yeah. now i've partitioned my drive and have a seperate 5gb instance with all my stuff on it that's password-locked. but damn, that's a good excuse. pretty genius, actually. the folder trick is... not as good nowadays. you could just check the size of every folder until you narrow down why one is a few gigabytes larger than the rest.
