The internet remembers the winners. We track the rest.
Every project here failed, stopped or disappeared. They are the same kind of data point as the winners. Usually a better one, because nobody else keeps them.

A leaderboard where you bid in trees. One tree is $5, and your total never goes down.
Why it works: Charity as the currency, a year before the outbid wave, and one of the few boards with recurring revenue.

9 projects · combined peak revenue $11k · median lifetime 6 days · most common cause Never found buyersWhy this matters
Why the money stopped
Never found buyers: Almost nobody paid, from the first day on. The idea never had a market. Interest faded: It sold while people were talking about it. When the attention moved on, the sales stopped. Copied to death: Copies flooded in and took the buyers. The original lost the search term and the crowd. Creator quit: People were still buying, but the person behind it walked away: burnout, a new project, a job. Shut down by others: Someone else ended it: a platform, a payment provider, a landlord, a lawyer.
How a project gets here
Automatically when the site is offline for 14 days, or by hand when the creator announces the end. Sixty quiet days alone make a project stalled, not cancelled. A project that sold out or ran its course is not here either: it landed. "Cancelled" is meant figuratively: it is the label of this record, not a verdict on a business or a person. We then record why the money stopped. Peak revenue, lifetime and the last known counter value stay on record. Rules in detail.
