If either parent knows what he's doing, the OP could have been tracked on the router instead of the PC, and he wouldn't have been able to get to the history to erase it.

Why not? Accessing a network from the inside is very easy. It's not like it's impossible for him to copy another device's name and MAC address on the network or encrypt his traffic. I suppose it wouldn't matter (doesn't now anyway) if the OP is computer illiterate.

well, google chrome incognito blocks that, right?

the minute i read this fml i jsut knew there was someone who was gunna say "ydi for being gay"

no. incognito mode will not block that. It merely deletes records off the PC itself. It doesn't delete the internet traffic logs off the router.

you proxys proxys and stuff i'd so a revenge hack to control and watch their computer

eeh hello?? history deletion?? mozilla firefox? t.t whats with the proxy?

Once again, that doesn't delete the internet traffic logs on the router.

#154 what people are trying to say is that the computer is not being monitored. it's like with texting you can delete the texts off your phone but they're still stored by the phone company. Using this example his parents are monitoring his history through the router (the information from the phone company in my example) instead of through his computer (or phone in my example)

LOL

It seems like they don't care about HIM. They didn't even look up from the TV

yeah they could've freaked out and kicked him out of the house.

So OP watched kanye west being A gayfish?

The FMl here is that they're totally invading his privacy. Look outside the box.

Bingo. YDI, and you're doing fine.

Hear, hear!,#4! Everyone who is upset about "ruined" privacy is probably a disgruntled youth. If you can't take three seconds to delete your history, you might has well just leave your pr0n on the bed too.

it goes to more places than the computer

yeah the parents probaly didn't go to his computer they probaly had it go to theirs

Even if he did delete the history on the computer, it would still be saved on the router (the part that connects all te computers in the house with the Internet). and unless he knows the password to that which is very unlikely he wouldn't be able to delete that history

It's an fml because obviously it embarrassed him.

It's an FYL because his family is monitoring his history...at least for the OP. I say YDI for going to websites like those.

I really hope you mean **** sites in general, not just gay ones.

Which websites? The OP never said ****, he may have just gone on gay dating sites or whatever. Lots of things can give your sexuality on the internet. Although I do love that Avenue Q song...
