Sub-forum question: What determined the 1967-1988 segmentation?

I thought the late b60s to mid 70s then late 70s to late 80s were different platforms. Or it that incorrect? Anyone know?

When the forum was created back in 2001, we just wanted to divide up the forums into a few areas. If we wanted to do it by generation we would have had too many sub-forums and more confusing/less posts. It's hard enough to moderate what we have because many people cannot follow even basic instructions like posting cars for sale in the for sale forums, which is obviously common sense. There just isn't enough traffic to break it all up.
