Group,
Let me state the obvious, "BD is a mess"!
BD named the majority, if not all, of their photos 000-nnn.jpg.
BD assigned no unique identifiers to their sets.
It's only on the member pages that one had access to the folder
names for each set. Collectors long ago began using these
folder names as set identifiers.
Let me state more of the obvious.
It isn't possible to tell from a set folder name what site it came
from.
It isn't generally possible to tell from a logo what site a set came
from. There are exceptions like Photololita & Photonymphets,
which became respectively, Photo Lo and Hot Girls Photos, but
most sets have no unique logo.
BD used the same photo shoot for updates to different sites.
Folder names may have been similar or different. The number
of photos and their arrangement was likewise variable from site
to site.
BD sold photo sets to outside sites (MyFirstUndressing &
ShamelessLolita), then later reclaimed them for updates to their
own sites.
BD combined prior sets into new ones for updates to their sites.
Are there any questions as to why BD is a mess? I see no
hands going up.
This index & csv were predicated on several sources. The first,
an index by an unknown benefactor known only as the Golden
Spittoon Ltd. index which was derived from site mirrors. The
mirror for Young Strawberry ended in November 2003, with
previews good through December.
The second, a p2p archive named
"BD_Strawberry_CompleteSite_2003".
Lastly, a 67 set, Young Strawberry usenet posting ending in
March, 2004.
After comparing these sources, set identifier names, and crcs
from the variously posted sets, I chose to do the following:
1.. To (re)name files strictly in accordance with the Golden
Spittoon index.
2.. To (re)order the index according to my own individual sort
preferences.
3.. To update the index to include the 4 or 5 newer sets the
index didn't catalog. (One was known to exist, but not which of
three it was.)
4.. To remake all the thumbs to suit my own tastes.
I take no credit for this work. It belongs to the author of the
Golden Spittoon index and the posters of BD Young Strawberry. I only brought it together.
I sign the csv so you can fault me for my mistakes.
If there are any videos from Young Strawberry, I have not
indexed them.
If there are updates subsequent to March 2004, I have not
indexed them.
BD Young Strawberry ran from March 2003 to May 2004.
