In my years of lurking there has been some belters...
There was the whole instinct cricket starting up which I seem to remember although never had any of their gear. The AK-47 did look nice though.
I can't remember the member but someone went through a period of time comparing a wide grainer to a close grainer to see the difference (absolute peak of what a CBF thread should be about imo)
There has been plenty of debate from
