Closet bronies, what is your ''escape tab'' for an MLP website?

[gamecubeguy214 2,511]

So some of us bronies don't want to show we're bronies and we go on MLP websites a lot and our family is near us all the time. Because of all this, we may have a second tab we always have open and go to whenever you hear someone walking past you. The person can just read the other tab and start making fun of you, but I'm sure people just walk by to get to wherever they're going. My escape tab is Smashboards, Smash is a hobby that my family knows I have and they don't judge me for it, but MLP is something I don't want to show. I'm sure that most of my family know I'm a brony except for my dad, if my dad found out I bet he'd throw me off the deck. What's your escape tab?

YouTube! Everyone in my family knows about all my subscriptions. Or i just flip a book or magazine over the screen. (Not all my subscriptions many but not all) that or i use the GAME website as a cover up (works like a charm)

Waccoe.com, a soccer website

[Ed Lyons 105]

My menu button on my iPad.

As a tab, probably ROBLOX.

I wouldn't say I'm as much of a closet brony as I used to be, but since I do high school online, I used to always switch over to my school lessons when somebody came in the room. I don't do it as much now, but it just depends on how I'm feeling I suppose.

In the past i hide this thing from my family, and i just going to Google . But now, my family is probably know that i am a brony, so i don't need to hide it

Recently I've been clicking onto FamiTracker (I've been writing chiptunes ^^) so I just go to that. 

For a tab? Probably Facebook, Twitter or YouTube

I use another forum as escape tab.

Tv Tropes used to be mine. (WARNING: Addictive!) Now I don't really need one.

[RainCode 61]

I would switch tab to a different forum, guide, or just maximize a program I have opened.

I had before turned off my monitor to cover it up but that's way too suspicious.

 

A thing I noticed was that they didn't identify the icons clearly showing or the forum tabs. So that isn't really anything for me to worry about yet.

 

 

I kind of got caught when I once left my laptop opened unintended but they didn't identify where it was from or whatever. o.o

Any social media/youtube.

Have a normal site up in one window open and open a incognito window, then just minimize it when some one comes by.

That's actually a pretty good idea, I should do that.

[EverEverOn 346]

My family is aware that I'm a fan of the show, but because I don't like how they mockingly sing the them when they see me watching it or on a pony website, I switch to Facebook or another game when they come into the room.

[TheAnimatorOfficial 566]

I switch to my porn tab. It's easier to explain.

[Steve Piranha 28,752]

My immediate family is cool with pastel colored horses, so, I rarely have the need to have an escape tab at home. At college however. I usually have a good game of Avengers Alliance 

[Celtore 2,769]

Reddit, usually /r/linux or /r/programming. The more boring programming/security jargon on the screen, the better

[Detritus 258]

I always look up MLP stuff using private browsing/incognito mode. Then I close the browser when I hear someone opening my door.

 

I usually have another program (e.g. a file manager) up behind it so I don't look suspicious.

 

I also know exactly where the reset button is on my computer... just in case the browser locks up when I try to close it.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,421]

I have two screens. So in main screen I hide my browser behind my Steam and on 2nd screen it's Youtube. or another random page I frequently use. And my Chrome theme is so messy that text on tabs is impossible to read.

My family is okay with me being a brony, so I don't have an escape tab. My school has computers, but they're not for the students to use whenever they want to.

 

But if I had to have an escape tab, I would probably use Reddit or Cucumber Quest.

[Tao 6,707]

Sometimes just random anime or manga works and I also got fanfiction.net open for a reading between stuff.

[Bojo 1,171]

I hate to be a closet brony to my parents. I'm seriously thinking about not caring anymore because I have to do this escape tab thing not only with MLPForums or EQD but with my art, when I am drawing, as well. It's very frustrating  .

Reddit is a great escape tab, except if you are on /r/mylittlepony

Do they ever sing, ''My Little Pony, so skinny and bony'' in the melody of the theme for the previous generations of MLP? Because when I was open about my brony-ness, people would sing that to make fun of me and I felt like s***.
