Seriously, the Daleks are more powerful than the Cylons?

No.

Are they using the classical definitions of the Cylons or the modern?

Daleks aren't in the updated list, actually. I don't know why.

I know I'm doing a be of necrothreading here, but I just now stumbled upon this.

Now by the nature of the beast, I understand that this list can be argued about til the cows come home but I have to say I find it interesting that the SG1 Ancients are relatively low on the list. The recreated all life in the Milky way Galaxy, seeded all life in the Pegasus galaxy....I should think that'd along with their other long list of accomplishments would at the very least, put them within the top-five.

I also find it curious that, the Q Continuum didn't even make the list. Or is that because they're ascended beings or being of another plane of existence...if that's the case then i can understand them not making the list although, this is technically just a "Most Powerful Scifi Factions" list so I should think they'd make at least a mentioning, if not also within the top-five.

I don't know and don't care enough to go through it again. Getting kind of tired of SDN. I only stick around for the gaming forum.
