The Album Review Index is a thread that I maintain that keeps an index over album reviews. It can be useful for finding specific reviews that are hard to search for (many reviews are "hidden" inside members journals), you can browse or perhaps check out if someone's written about the album you wanted to review already. Finally, it's a testament to the productivity of the members of the site which, when you look at the index, is actually quite impressive. A lot of us have added to it.

But, since I generally pay less attention to what goes on with reviews these days than I did when I was a moderator, I wonder how many actually publish their reviews in that thread. Does the index have them all? If not, how many of new reviews are ever entered into the index? And do people ever use it?

I thought I could answer some of these questions with a poll and perhaps that would have the added benefit of getting some new entries to the index and some added awareness. So please take a moment to answer it.

Although the index is a cumbersome beast to manage these days, any ideas/feedback you can give is also welcome!
