Be still, my heart! Just the fact that you asked, I think I like you already.
I lurk among the various boards, but consider "How To" home. This is a pretty good post on how to fit in with the HT culture and I daresay it's pretty good advice that would translate well to the other boards with the exception of the General Board. It's generally a free for all over there and people say whatever the hell they feel like, just to see what sort of reaction they can get. Best to have pretty thick skin if you venture over there. The arrival of "virgin meat" (as it were) is like chumming shark infested waters.
If you have some time, I'd advise you to read through the FAQ's and The Blank Manual (both sticked at the top of this forum). There is lots of good information there. Welcome to Lit and may you enjoy your stay.
ETA: You should also read this excellent HT piece regarding PM etiquette.
Welcome to Lit! I have made some friends here over the past few years, everyone of them through reading their posts in threads or them reading mine and finding something to like about one another. Random PMs almost never result in anything meaningful, but there are many who choose to send those out as well.
To me, the How To and BDSM forums are the right places for me to read and contribute, although I'm more of a bystander in the latter. The regulars in these forums are kind, patient, and genuine. I tend to run away from the General Board with my tail between my legs, but if you're looking to argue about something, anything, that may be a place to look.
There's a wealth of experience and information here. Read through the threads and you'll find yourself wanting to chime in. Then you'll be hooked, too...
