Literotica is best known for its message boards, particularly the unruly General Board, which has a reputation as a den for threats, cyberstalkers, blowhards, unprovoked and disproportionate verbal abuse, racial slurs and intentional acts of defamation. The General Board also has a reputation of bullying other sub fora such as the Personals, AmPics and Author's Hangout, among others. Some of the more disgruntled and emotionally scarred members tend to write poorly rated Literotica stories lampooning their abusers. The General Board is a lightning rod attracting various hackers, flooders cyber stalkers, and other types of online bullies looking for a fight. Of all the sub fora in Literotica, the General Board has the lowest poster:story contributor ratio of them all, and is strongly predisposed to hostility towards members who contribute long-winded posts for no other reason except that it takes more than a minute to read the resulting article. | |||

Literotica is one of the most popular erotic text sites in existence, with nearly 25,000 registered authors (as of late 2005) contributing about 100,000 stories, poems, essays, illustrated stories and audio stories in a huge variety of categories. Though Literotica is primarily an internet website holding hundreds of thousands of stories, there is a ferocious community behind the site, located on its message board. Long live free speech. | |||

Literotica's message boards are lesser known than the stories, but still extremely active nonethelss. Inside the message boards are many different forums from which users can choose one or all forums to frequent. | |||
Concerning disproportionate responses to perceived slights: the General Board is also known for making rape threats against women. Look to this thread for a clear example. http://forum.literotica.com:81/showthread.php?t=192645 | |||
* The Amateur Pictures forum is always popular, as is the General Board, the only unmoderated section of Literotica, solely devoted to free speech. The Author's Hangout, Role Playing and, Sexual Role Playing forums are also usually on a visitor's must-see list. | |||
Also, the General Board is known for scorned lovers posting their former significant others' personal information. That having been said, it is generally unsafe for any member to post any personal information, or to share it with others, due to the risk of betrayal. | |||
* The BDSM and GLBT communities are represented in the forums as well, along with a How-To forum and even a place for writers to seek advice with erotic stories. | |||
* Literotica is a community, with many members, both erotica writers and fans. | |||
* Popular with the 'Litizens' or 'Litsters' are 'Litogethers' (most likely a shortened form for Literotica Get-Togethers), when members of the message boards will join together in one place for a night or two of fun and getting to know one another better. | |||
