It didn't flop, but awhile back I created https://findkismet.com to help introduce HN users to each other. We sure could use an influx of new users!

It's free and has cost me more to run than it has ever made in revenue.

Was there a revenue model though? It seems like it's just free?

There’s a space for a small text-based ad in the introduction emails people get. I sold a few for small amounts, but lately I’ve used the space to ask people to donate to UNICEF.

I've been a member since when you first announced it I think. I think I got maybe one email reply from someone wanting to help me, and to be honest I've never been that motivated to reply to help anyone.

These both might be me problems rather than issues with Kismet, but there you have it.
