Update 6/10-14/09: Started entering in entries for threads with last-post dates of 2007 and later.
  • Index is now complete up to April 2007.
  • Many entries are in for May through October 2007, but these are not complete (so if something is missing don't panic yet).
  • I've scoped out threads all of the way up to January 2008, and I hope to close the gap between this Index and "real time" to just 12 months.
  • Still need to catch up on moving indexed threads (June 2006 and later) into the Vault, will be sending more requests to David Tai.
  • Also on 6/12/09: rearranged entries under the "Batman" heading to hopefully make that section more useful than it was previously.
  • Also on 6/13/09: rearranged entries under the "Spider-Man" heading (including moving "Web of..." into that heading), using similar approach to the cleaned-up "Batman" entry.
  • Also on 6/14/09: rearranged entries under the "X-Men" section. Basically I split out listings of characters/titles from storylines. If this is not a good thing, please post and let me know. I can easily fix it and merge that whole section together again. Also, I've put the Deadpool entry in the main part of the Marvel index rather than in the "X-Men" section. My rationale is that although the Deadpool character originated in the mutant titles, he isn't always firmly rooted in that sub-genre. (Similar rationale as for Dazzler.) If people don't like this decision, feel free to post and I'll move the entry into the "X-Men section.

If you discover improperly directed links, please let me know. Also, as of now all map threads whose most recent post was May 2006 or earlier are housed in the Vault... if you discover a map of that vintage that still resides the original binding forum, please let David Tai and me know. Work still needs to be done to move threads with last-post dates of 6/06 and later into the Vault.

Regarding non-mapping threads in the original binding forum: I have not been doing any work with these. If you feel that something over there should be moved to a Vault, please PM David Tai.

More indexing to come, stay tuned!



Samy had a post like this on the original binding forum, and it was incredibly helpful. So here's one for the Binding Vault! If you leave a kudo for this thread, please also give one to Samy because he made the original map index from which I derived this index.

Thanks to the mods for allowing this post to get "stickied." If there are broken or misdirected links, please let me know by responding in this thread. Thanks!
