I'll bite.

I've done a lot of side projects. True to what people have said in here, most of them still exist, but get no attention from me or anyone else. Some I have taken down. I mentioned a few successful ones in the other thread.

http://allyourwords.com, a site that made about $1000 selling word-to-website associations (kind of like million dollar homepage), but then I took it down due to maintenance.

http://ohbigdeal.com, was auto-updating by crawling forums for amazon deals and adding my affiliate code, but I could never get it to take off. Now I haven't touched it in months and the update code appears to have broken.

donotpress.me, donotpressme.com, etc., was a gimmicky attempt at a viral site that went nowhere.
