Ditto on 'wheres the original thread'? Do peoples comments on there no longer apply?

If so, I'll reiterate.
Why is this really a discussion, the last thread only had a handful of people interested, once this runs its course in a few days time will you then expect everyone you interact with online, here and elsewhere to adhere, to one of the systems mentioned above? Even if they've never been to this forum? let alone interacted with this thread? Without a significant input from here, Seibertron, TFW2005, all the other forums and myriad of facebook groups even running a poll like this is no more than trivial interest, expecting anyone to adhere to whatever the result turns out to be is pure egotism.

If you really want to create a system to define eras of G1, you should have a thread like this on all the other forums and face book groups but first you should be asking each of those communities for their opinions, getting a feel for what the community as a whole even wants, then put a poll together from the most popular ideas put forward. Otherwise it has no real peer reviewed validity.
