Spanking Art
Dumped unceremoniously with little or no notice by Wikia in 2008 after a group of Wikipedia's most vociferous critics use the wiki as a pretext to threaten to approach Wikia advertisers to complain about the wiki's content.
See Forum:Spanking art wiki, Wikia:Our stories, the Wikipedia:user talk:Jimbo Wales discussion on this issue and their new (non-Wikia) wiki at spankingartwiki.animeotk.com. The history of the boy scout controversy incident is documented on their new site [NSFW] as part of the historical record of the project. See also talk:boy scout.

Spanking Art Wiki, despite more careful restriction on content on a new website, is not aimed at, intended for or suitable for 13 year olds. Wikia officially allows kids 13 and older (this is the minimum age to avoid US federal restrictions on the gathering of personal information from users under COPPA) but much Wikia-hosted content is aimed at fans of entertainment (such as Muppets) viewed primarily by a mainstream under-13 audience.
The broader issues of the consequences of the free licenses (and their intrinsic content re-use permissions) are soon forgotten. Anyone who uploads an image of a local Boy Scout troop to Wikipedia or Wikia nominally, implicitly agrees (under GFDL 1.3 or any subsequent version and on Wikipedia now additionally CC-BY-SA 3.0) that that image may be freely modified and re-used by anyone for any purpose, including commercial use, provided that the free license and attribution are preserved. In this incident, that permission may be construable to include the re-use of an encyclopædia image of boy scouts to illustrate a wiki article eroticising spanking - likely not the original author's intent.
