That long ago...? Jeez. I'm showing my age.
The switch to Baxter was probably the singlemost worst thing DC has ever done. Titans and Legion were selling massive numbers by today's standards, and the rocket scientists at DC decided to take them off the shelves of newsstands and make them more expensive because they thought they'd have a loyal following regardless.
In the meantime, Marvel's most popular title at the time, X-men, has spawned a myriad spin off titles, movies and computer games.
Just plain stupid, even without the benefit of hindsight.

I'm all for having no connections with the 21st century DCU. Why would there be any connection whatsoever? It's ancient history, man -- a thousand years ago. What connection do I have with Erik the Red?
Okay, then kill off that green guy with the blond hair in the front of the pic and at least half the alien races they usually hang out with. No connections means no connections. If you're going to completely separate it out, then completely separate it out.
You didn't answer my question... 
I do have a connection with Erik the Red -- he was Scandinavian, and my parents are Swedish. We come from the same people-group.
Likewise with "Brainiac Five" (or whatever he's being called) -- he comes from the same species as one that existed a thousand years previously. Yet should that mean the Legion then has any more of a connection than I do with Erik the Red? No.
Maybe theres a connection cause L.E.G.I.O.N being part of the DCU in the modern age means you really cant get away from it.
Half the members have direct descendants & the name L.E.G.I.O.N/Legion alone will always forge this connection in readers minds.
Mon-El/Valor has also existed in both the 20th & 30th century meaning that no matter what the reboot is,he will have always been part of the 20th century unless the 20th century has another Crisis/Zero hour style reboot!
Since when did Nowhereman become a continuity bitch?
