Forrst (http://forrst.com/) was a side project I built out of frustration in January. It's now a community of around 15k developers and designers and gets a healthy amount of traffic. Not quite profitable yet, but slowly gaining ground every month.

I saw you've got a good amount of advertisers on the site already (as well as the cabin). Is it because the cost of hosting & S3 that makes it still not profitable?
It's mainly my (meager) salary + the cost of a full time moderator that's standing in the way at present. S3 and hosting are pretty affordable in comparison.
