Deleting those projects would be a bad idea since you would lose a 
sense of history in OC. New people would come in and start projects 
almost exactly like those that had died out thinking they were the 
first ones to have that idea.

It would be much better to move such projects to a special "inactive" 
page and not have them show up in normal listings. It might also be 
interesting to better separate "finished" and "in development" projects.

Eventually it might be a good idea to add an "obsolete" page for 
projects that were finished a long time ago and should no longer be 
used for new designs. Yes, I am sure OC will last that long...
