That's glorious 
Is 7 green 4-drops too many? Is Territorial Allosaurus a 4-drop?

What size cube? I run 4-5 in 360, trying to adhere to a average CMC of 3 overall.
I'm also at 360.

Green can suffer more four drops than most colors, since ramp is part of its core identity. That said, I run six 4-drops in green (including Garruk Wildspeaker), six 5-drops, two 6-drops, and two 7+-drops. Looking at your cube I'ld say your CMC 4 slot is not the problem in green, especially since you run only three 5-drops, it's the fact that you have a whopping five 7+-drops!
Do you think the exact number of cards at each CMC actually matters as long as the color still has a proper mana curve?

Well, is it a curve, really, if it all but "stops" at four and starts again at seven?
I don't think the exact number matters, but I do think you should have a more or less even distribution over the different CMC' (though heavily slanted towards CMC 2 and 3).

Holy crap. A friend of mine just brought this alter under my attention. Klug might have done the ultimate alter here, it's perfect!

It's currently up for auction. Bring a large wallet.

So... Vintage cube is definitely CBS, but this draft, especially the games, was fantastic
The most recent episode of Limited Resources has Paul Cheon on as a guest, and he's talking about his design philosophy with the Vintage cube. It's a pretty interesting listen getting a designer's perspective from someone at WotC who has to design for everyone, rather than our own idiosyncratic tastes.

Really? That's good to hear!
Lr has had cube shows before, but given their angle (how to win and get better) it was usually "here's the good archetypes and pivot cards in the stale ass modo cube"

This guy is putting out excellent content right now, but this has to be the most busted deck he created yet. What a delight to watch, even if I don't want my own cube to look like that
Pretty fun and informative too see a really busted cube combo deck on action. Caleb's great!

Yeah, he shows some really nice interactions, like Trinket Mage + Black Lotus = storm counter +2 for free
I love how he always stays calm, even when things blow up in his face.
