I would like you to go to http://Topaddress.com.
There's a link in the left side strip if you need to go back and forth.
There you will find our lovely selection of domain names.
Pick a domain or some domains which you think would be good for a nice profitable enterprise, and describe what you would do with them if you were an entrepreneur.
The single best entry will win an Extra Gameaday prize.
You can enter as many times as you like.
IMPORTANT
1. Try to get Unique Selling Points into your plan!
2. Work out why you think it would make money.
3 .State clearly how long it would take and what the difficulties would be.
I've no idea how this will go, but good luck.
And NO, we are not likely to use the winning entry, this is just the stuff of financial fantasy.

Here's a less serious one...
gangster.org.uk
owned by: Richard Gangston
This is a great site for gangsters of all ages. It has pages on how to be a top gangster - how to dress, which guns to use, techniques for making money, how to start your own ring and so on.
Gangsters can buy weaponry, information on opposite gangs obtained by spies. They can purchase the book "Being a gangster for dummies".
Every week there is a biography on a famous gangster such as Al "Scarface" Capone. Also gangsters can buy goods in batch from the site. The site can sell 200 boxs of cigarettes for gangsters to flog with extra profit.
And to top it all of there is a gangster leaderboard. All the top gangs in areas are listed and as gangsters battle there ranking goes up. The ultimate prize is for getting top gang in the world.
Gangster.org.uk appeals to not only current gangsters but gangsters new to the scene, gangsters who are interested in the life of a gangster.
Unfortunately the problems facing the site are very irritating. The FBI and several other powerful organisations want the site closed down as it promotes the life of the gangster. They blame the site for the current rise in crime in the world and want to take it to court. Shame really.. however gangster.org.uk uses its many funds from selling stolen goods and gangster hats and trenchcoats to gangs all over the country to get good lawyers and there is always the possibility of some gangsters ending the courtcase in what will be dubbed "The Valentines Day Massacre".

I feel time is running out for may good sites (though not necessarily the ones you mentioned).
Clearly advertising revenues and affiliate deals alone do not bring in the bacon. In order to survive most sites need other revenue streams.
It must be tough for those with a team of 40 designers and writers.

Greensplat could be good for competitors of Special Reserve!
The joy of librarians.co.uk Someone could start a cult site for mad librarians who go round charging people for overdue books!
