Whilst reading the Post count Breakdown it got me thinking. What are the most popular threads ever on this forum?

I can see a few that have over a million views, are these the highest or has there been a post that has gone viral for some reason and gets millions and millions of hits.

Show Us Your Motors! 18 Oct 2002 - 6 million views
*** PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread *** 10 Jan 2014 - 3 million views
The **Now Eating** Thread 18 Apr 2011 - 2 million views

Tbf you need to strip out 4 million posts of Gibbos Ferrari and DRZ Lambo to get Show Us Your Motors fairly assessed.

Likewise Robfosters grim microwave meals from Now Eating.

It's been years since I've read it so can't remember details but the one where the OP goes in his gf mums was it(?) and gets a proposition, sure it involved a car with a flat tyre, leopard print and a bin bag. I'm sure someone knows what I'm thinking of though I'm probably way off.
 
Some of the confessions threads were funny.
The one where the guy plays a vast amount of half life 2 on foot as he missed the boat.
The Leopard print Mum one as mentioned above.
The Postbox delivery one.
Was there not one where someone got scammed on members market and then OCUK helped track him down?

Search has not been kind or I would have linked them!
 
Aside from all the usual banter threads, let’s not forget the one where someone out of nowhere revealed he played pc games with his chin… and it got so much publicity that the game developers created a patch say he could play a game properly. Got OCUK forums on major news websites iirc!

Can’t seem to find it now though… someone else can link to it I’m sure :)

Yeah that was cool. I think some people didn't believe him and thought he was a troll.
