NOOOOOOO!!!! MY /E/ FOLDER IS GONE!!! Kaljinyu
Someone... deleted... MY /E/ FOLDER!!!

All of those images, all of that hard work, all of those rare opportunities, GONE!

Images I would only find here, images I wanted to share, and images that can NEVER be found again, all gone, and this was MURDER!!!

I can never get a moment alone on ANY computer. I was moving my files from my flash drive to my computer, and when I was done, my sisters wanted to use mine (My parents keep haiving me over their house because we're preparing for the Fall holidays). They must've found it, and DELETED IT ALL!!! THE FOLDER IS JUST NOT THERE!!!

Well, I've no doubt got a grilling in store for me, as they've probably told my parents and my dad EXPRESSLY told me time and time again that "THAT kind of porn is misleading, and you should never partake of it", and my mom, who is sensitive about the whole thing, and will probably think I had it out in the open, but I don't care, because my /E/ IMAGES ARE ALL GONE! NONE ARE LEFT I HAVE NOTHING NOW!!! AND MY SECRET IS OUT! I HAVE NOTHING!!!

So, my brethren, if you could help one of your fallen angels, by lending him some of your ecchi, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm at then end of my rope with nowhere to turn but you guys!

Just kidding... Man, that's horrible =/ My ecchi folder's just on 1GB, so I can relate to the loss (I'd offer to rapidshare a good deal of it, but I'm unfortunately on dialup).

If this thread's still around, I'll post what I can later on this evening.

You're lucky that you don't have my mom... She gets depressed that I chose to spend my free time playing videogames and chatting on the net instead of going to parties and concerts. ("Its not right! When I was your age, I was always out partying with my friends on Friday nights!" What she fails to realize is that hanging out in the middle large crowds filled with noisy rowdy drunk people and the smell of pot isn't my idea of fun...) If she found my /e/ folder, she'd think that I was taking nerdiness factor WAY too far and she'd probably think that the only way to "save me" is to do something like sell this computer and keep her laptop away from me or have some other sort of drastic intervention.

I don't think that she'll ever find it though... I was sure to put it in a big folder dedicated to roms with an icon that looks like it would run some complicated program with a name to match. I've had it like that for probably around three years now. She came close to finding it once (virus scan), but I managed to convince her that all of those images were probably support files.

Hot damn, I feel your pain. I got hacked a few years ago and had to send my PC out to some stranger to be restored. I couldn't burn/transfer anything, so it was either give my 2GB collection (I know this sounds small to most of you, but I'm picky about my pictures) to some stranger, and risk him showing it to my mother. And thus, by my own hand, my ecchi was gone. I'd rather lose it all than have to listen to the "Oh god, my daughter's a lesbian!" speech again though.

Good luck in restoring your collection. And do check up on programs that can restore deleted files. All may (hopefully) not be lost.

Just a legal heads up for any other kiddies that may fall under this kind of issue:

If you are 16 or older and own the computer (be it purchased with your own money or a gift), anything they delete without your permission legaly falls under several digital vandalism laws and you can file a report for invasion and destruction of property. Or if they just up and take your PC, it's theft.
Whether you chose to actualy pursue that is up to you, just remember that going through and filing will put this on the accused's permanent record. But it can make one fuck of a scare tactic, and most times fear is a greater deterrent than action.

Proving they did delete it would be difficult though, as would not getting kicked out of your parent's house if you decide to sue their asses. It sounds good in theory, but I don't see how they'd be scared by it unless they're the really stupid type.

Here, have a healy boo spell.

I've actually checked into data recovery before. I read that when a file is deleted, is it not actually gone, merely qued up to be written over, and its actually possible to recover the files months down the line, if you're computer doesn't have a high traffic of data transfer.. I mean me personal, I torrent gigs of stuff a day..

But you should look into it, It might cost you some money, but if the folder is years old, and full of selectively chosen goodies, its worth it right? I tried out a trial version once, but it only let me recover a couple of kb, a text file. But it worked, right.

I'd just be stoked to hear that it actually recovered the whole thing, it'd be peace o mind. Crazy stuff like that can happen to any of us at a n y time, who knows.

Here's a tip on protecting your files from people who aren't computer savy. Next time put the images in a folder within another folder, and give both of them different names that only you could think of. Next, right click the 1st folder that contains the images and the second folder and choose "Properties", then check out the box in "Attributes:" that says "Hidden". Then, it will ask you if you want to apply changes to "this folder, subfolders, and files" and click "OK".
Now your hidden folders make it a bit harder to find. Whenever you want to open them type in the first folder's path, for example "C:/hentai/" and right click a blank area and change the settings back to unhidden.

I don't think my parents would even care whatever I have on my computer. Well, if they found my Jun porn I guess they would wonder..

Was gonna post some of my faves from my /e/ folder but maximum number of images reached and all that. =\
>> Anonymous
To anyone wishing to protect their secret files (be it porn or any other kind of personal data) just change the filetype of the original folder by adding something like .dat to the end of it. Give it an odd name that sounds hi-tech and place it in a random folder where it looks like it belongs. When you need to acces it again rename it and delete the .dat. This worked when I was living with my parents, and keeps my girlfriend from nosing around in any of my files now. If someone tech-saavy enough really wanted to find your files they could, but that's not very likely.

File recovery is extremely simple. When you delete a file, as someone said earlier, it simply changes the header of a file to tell the computer that the file can be written over whenever it is required. But lets say you delete 80gb of anime like I did once (Too many HDD's plugged in, formatted the wrong one stupidly), you can recover whatever hasn't been written over. So if you accidentally delete something, stop your downloads, and retrieve it. Easy as pie, google for "data recovery" or "undelete".
If you want to keep your files unaccessible to others and you are completely anal about it, you could always check out PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) on Google.

That's the problem with sharing your computer with someone. You really need to learn to burn all your stuff onto a CD or DVD or even a memory stick for safer storage.

Wow that is fucked up. You need to yell at your parents and/or siblings not vice versa. I am really amused by your dad talking about "that kind of porn" being misleading, because good old mainstream American porn has never lied to or mislead us in any way about normal sexual practices.

Yeah, there's some sick hentai out there but there's actually stuff that doesn't have the sleazy mass-produced industrial feel. I'd probably have to find lesbian porn (as in made by and for lesbians, not the "lesbian" porn for guys) to find "real" porn I can stomach.

i had everything in a folder under pictures called funny/weird, with my funny pictures in it, with another folder called "Cache", with the folder's thumbnail icon a random pic, and then I rename all the pics/movies to .ca, and then when you want to view them rename back to whatever they were. works good for .gifs seeing as how they all will be .gif, and not .jpeg or .jpg or .bmp, or .png

Bah you should just do one of the following if you wanted to hide your stuff, even tough you shouldnt NEED to

1) use the windows directory to put stuff into, a subfolder in the system folder is hardly ever erased, and hardly interesting enough to have anyone ever going there
2) files can be designed as "read only" so they cant be erased. Yes is easy to take that out, but most parents dont know how
3) theres this thing called a password, it can be used for folders or even zip files, is useful, try it

I'm 20, but I trusted my family to move closer to me, and spend lots of time with me. Our family and friends get together a lot, and I'm usually bringing my computer. Now I know to be more careful with the computer.

Also, I'm proud of 4chan's 14-17 year old demographic. I wish I was still 14-17... Maybe younger... that doesn't make me some kind of pedo, does it?

Anyway, this thread has maxed out in it's first day of life! This just shows how strong a community 4chan is. All of this is good, and rest assured, I will keep marching forward towards restoration.

I was considering a file recovery system/program after I realized it was gone. I'm gonna try it tomorrow if I don't need to come in to work. It's pretty much just interning.

Oh yeah, and I did get reprimanded by my parents, and my grandparents too. I hate the fall holidays. XD

if you've xp, store your stuff in the C:\Windows\WinSXS\manifests\ directory. mark it hidden, and set computer to not show hidden files. zip it and rename the file to something like SystemXP.dat

for that matter, there are programs that'll encode data in a jpeg file. all you'll need is the reader that comes with the gear to do that, and you can get it out. parents never notice file sizes. so a 80gig jped will mean nothing to them.

other than that, your parents sound like mine did when they found my /d/ folder, except mine launched a jihad against my poor computer. i had to take her to a repair shop to get her working again.

Try TrueCrypt. You can store the entire collection in a single file, similar to a zip file, but make it so you can only mount it with some obscenely long password. I know you can pass protect zip files, but TrueCrypt was designed for encryption, not file compression. Besides, you can mount it on a letter (Say F:) when you need it and throw new stuff in there without having to extract/rezip. Handy little bastard.

Yeah, but most computer places are licensed and aren't going to disappear off the face of the earth when the bills start piling up. The guy I had was just some guy my friend mutually knew who knew a lot about computers (he actually had a degree and worked for my ISP, so he had to at least be somewhat intelligent).

He's up and vanished now in any case (after I got my computer back, thankfully). Since my mother's strict about porn (even though most all of my images are ecchi, and ecchi doesn't tend to have a lot of cocks...) I had a feeling she told the guy to keep an eye out for anything. I was probably just being paranoid, but better safe than sorry. I'd rather lose pictures than my computer.

Yep, I'm afraid /e/ has some chicks visiting after all. I don't really care if you know I don't have a penis (after this thread's deleted, no one will remember my name anyway), or if I'm a pervert. We're all here for the same reason more or less. In my opinion, most of the stuff posted in /e/ really isn't that objectable. But unfortunately, some parents still think pictures of women in skimpy bikinis by pools will turn your mind to mush and make you rape seven yr olds at the bus stop. I guess mother would rather me go out and find a pimp than fap to Saber.

& if anything, I'd be a bisexual, not a lesbian. But since my mother doesn't like either one of those, I take care in keeping my ecchi private (same with my male porn). I'm the only one who uses this computer anyway, so it's usually not difficult.

>Oh and for the record I am damned near 23 and live at home, because I can't afford to move out and it's impossible for me to get and keep a job so.....
Signed. The rent for an apartment in my area (even a shitty 1 bedroom 1 bath) is expensive as fuck. I'm lucky enough to have a decent job, and I *am* saving, but it's going to be a while before I'm financially comfortable enough to move out.

Not sure where y'all live, but the average age of financial independance in the US is 26. Until then, good luck finding the resources to live on your own. I've been lucky enough to get $$ for college from the Gov't, and that lets me have nice things, like my 54.7 gigs of porn (58,813,095,936 bytes), mostly images from 4 chan (95,094 of them). I'm not going to claim it's all primo stuff, but I can find almost anything I want in it. And yet I still come here 3-4 times a week, and I find new pictures every time.
