7-8 years ago, during my first year as a mod. Iwaku was a very very small community. Asmo just got promoted to global mod and Rory just became a mod. We haven't even met Dianerp yet. I held a pageant type contest.
It was called "Iwaku Jailbait" or something.
hahahaha what?
19yr old me thought 'jailbait' just meant attractive teenager. And none of the staff thought to stop me. Not sure if none of us knew, or they just allowed it coz the premise was so innocent, or we all had collective cognitive dissonance or maybe the entire staff was insane..but hey, Orochi was being productive for a change. And so the contest was allowed.
There were 8 who entered, I think. They basically just answered a series of questions I prepared and tried to out-MOE each other. No photos. Just a series of interviews through PM that I published. Basically, a regular contest but with "jailbait" in it's name.
The pageant was a success, Sakura won. She even had her profile title changed to "Official Iwaku Jailbait" for a month or something. She was what, 14? Now she's an adult and yells at me on facebook all the time. :E
It was weird that NO ONE pointed pointed out anything about the contest title and no one made creepy or inappropriate comments. It even became a running gag to warn the new female members to stay away from me coz I'd put them in a sack and run away like a sex-offender version of Hambuglar or something. For months, no one said "hey, man, that's kinda creepy". Maybe they just thought I knew exactly what I was doing. Or I was just a weirdo. Probably the latter.
It was only when and old mod returned from a long hiatus and he/she (I forget who, probably Coffee) lurked the staff-only archives section and found the contest threads and said "hey, man, that's kinda creepy".

Dunno if this is on topic, but I already typed it so yeah..
