Online Excerpt Lists

Several years ago (maybe 7) I found a site with the top 43 (by Roger House, I think) and the top 50 called on excerpts. I have been searching the web and can't find the lists. I know several people have listed the recent auditions here. Does anyone know what I am talking about and where to find it?
