Please notice:

1. alec appealed to us here

"Additions are very welcome and thanks to all, but please could the rate be
slowed down
to give me a chance to do my own stuff as well."


2. All links should made cklickable! How to: FAQ 3.3.

3. If new submissions are made, please give the full information (whatever is
possible). For ID of the girls, please give single screenshots instead of
screens of the whole film. This screens are only a good additional info.


Thanks!

deezer

Good post. But:

1. I personally don't expect fast reactions. But if new infos get added to the db, which are incomplete, I think it is better to answer/post directly. Additions can take a month or more. No need to hurry. What is posted is posted and can be found here. I don't believe in the "perfect" post.
To make alecs work easier there could be an template for additions.
2. Learned that - but the the software is a pita. And board software offers no link option. Not mentioned in the FAQ is that also works. No need for this fucking "[url=" shizzle.
3. I do not think that my posts are always entry worthy. I only post stuff that I found (actually not all, but if there is an relevant "hook") and that is open to discussion. Not everything has to be added directly. Don't care if it takes months. No hurry for alec or other egafd stuff. What is posted is posted and can be found. Good.
When everything is cleared up and others made their addition - it is no problem to create an entry worthy post and to suggest an add.

Full videothumbnails are great, IMO. This doesn't mean that you can't do single screenshots later. Complete thumbnails allow others to identify the set, other actors (including male actors which allow a search on iafd), all scenes and so on. Finding correct covers relies on shots that include the set.

IMO there is a discussion first. If something looks addworthy someone could add a String like "Add: that stupid movie" and provide selected screenshots.
Not every post means that egafd should add the additions and edit selected screenshots from a thumbnail gallery. That is the job of the poster. Which is ok. But if somebody found something - good to post in forums. IMO.

Don't take my post personally. alec made his appeal at a very hidden point.
I only wanted to bring it to attention.

Problem is only to keep track on all this info.

Neither do I. But we all can try to post as good as possible, which makes it
easy to handle for alec.

Good idea, if you have a programmer at hand, which write the code for free !grin!

FAQ 3.3:
The easiest way to create clickable links is by placing web addresses inside
a pair of angle brackets, thus:

Okay, but it would be way easier for all to see a single pic of the performer.

lwin wrote:

I like them too.

Yes, but often you can't see all actors/actresses very good at the thumbs.
Only one good pic of each performer, is way easier to handle, then
a huge thumbnail-pic.

lwin wrote:

Yes, but the discussion needs input (caps) from the OP. He has seen the film.
Then can start the discussion about the unidentified performers.

lwin wrote:

If a film is provided, it will normally added to the db, as I have seen so far,
even there are some xnk's in it.

I was more thinking about a certain style of a post to make it easier to add it to the backend. Don't know how it works.

Learned it manually but ok.

Thing is: Some actors are already known by experts. Any addition is helpfull, so you can't set to high standards for posting. A good shot without eyes closed can take some time - especially with a bad source. It is good to push for it - but IMO you can't expect that in an initial post. If things need to be cleared up - ok.

IMO thumbnails are a good start to work on. And I don't mean those 16 pic thumnbnails. Keep original size (400-640pix) 3 rows and 40-50 pics. That is 150 pics (which can be extracted later). Easy to view in 1080p.

I did annoy JJ with my 1000 singleshots earlier.
Think this method is good. Huge thumbnail + cover and then if needed invididual screenshots for certain girls.

But don't see this as critique. It is good to push for higher standards.

BTW: Smiley Button doesn't work for me. How do you do those?

Just my personal thoughts about "Submissions"; going out to
me, meyself and anyone who might feel concerned:
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Have only been "collecting" submissions for a brief periode now and have to admit to be
really convinced that it is about time anyone of us should take control about
his "output"...
"A submissions-thread" turn is about 7-10 days and IMHO it should be more
than enough to have a max of two "Film-Reviews" and a max of two "Additions to films"
in one "Submissions-thread" from one user...
(It isn't supposed to be that strict, but you know what I mean, right?!)

"Additions to profiles" = Pics, Infos and "XNK-Threads" don't seem to have a cause to be limited.

Please do it with hindsight regarding Alec who has to do it on its own and has done
an amazing job so far...

Again: It's JUST ME; but the recent amounts of posts appeal to me as simply
"TOO MUCH"

As we are all "grown-ups" I think it should be easy for us to get it in "balance"
!wink!

Not sure if you mean overall new posts made here or posts made in the "Submissions-threads" or both.


That said, yeah, I definitely feel at least a couple of my recent submissions have been too much.
One had 6 different movies with plenty of actresses and one had about 50 actresses in one movie to handle :O

And some time ago I promised to bring down the rate of submissions, but I guess that promise took only 1-2 weeks to get broken :D

I just had all these screenshots ready and thought to put them all out there nearly at once.
And as it's very hard or even borderline impossible
to find any databases with 90's and early 2000's Club Seventeen models and their movies
I thought it might be good to put a bigger load of them available
in a couple of posts so that people who are looking for some information about them
are going to have a bit better chance at finding it.

One pretty good source is now only available through the Wayback Machine
and even that works very slowly and not so surely.
And then there's a good thread of them at Vintage Erotica Forums
but that has almost 1000 pages to go through so good luck trying to find one certain face from the amount of pictures there is.

Anyway I think those two sets of posts are the biggest I will ever post here,
so that's done now and after they've been added (it seems the 6 movies are already added - great job!) my posts will quite probably be much smaller and less frequent.



Huge thanks to alec for his patience and hard work,
and huge thanks to anyone else who are helping to make
this database even better and more complete,
including the crew and people who post their info here.

A "Submissions-thread" is simply a collection of all posts made, relevant to
admin(s), within a certain space of time.
It is not supposed to be used for making new entries there;
it's mainly what you can call a "To-Do" list for Alec/admins.

In general it's all about a certain awareness concerning the work-load posts
may create
and hence thinking twice (or more) about
posting threads with 50! actresses to deal with at once...

No promises or "sorries" are demanded or useful;)

I think if we all all are more concious about the size/weight of posts we make, this issue
will be soon a thing of the past! I hope so! !grin!

Cheers! !nerd!

As alec's seasonal-greetings + his apply to please slow-down concering new posts aiming at becoming "db-entries"
might have reached only very few of us, I think it's fair to quote:

"... BUT PLEASE SLOW DOWN - TAKE A CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY (LIKE ME) - OTHERWISE THE BACKLOG WILL BE HUGE WHEN I AM BACK ON LINE.

MANY THANKS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR CONTRIBUTORS (AND READERS)."

I started posting because the board looked dead a few weeks ago.
I do understand it takes a lot of effort to go through all the information.
I've followed deezer's "template", and have slowly refined the way I post. I try to be as accurate as possible, use my own screencaps when I can, have clickable links, and ID as much as possible before posting.

I have TONS of information I've dug up on my own pertaining to early 2000's German models. I'm dying to share. There are a lot of inter-related models from that period, and a lot of dots to connect.

!sherlock!

As an example, Rosanna (as of this writing) has 10 movies listed on EGAFD. I know an additional 35 movies for her!!!

It takes huge effort to dig up the info, believe me. alec is a champ!
