I was curious about how the license covered erotica...fictional text stories, no pictures.

I remember FanFiction.Net disallowed mature content at one point. Was this driven by the Litespeed license?

Were there any changes about adult content? If it's just adult pictures with affliate links to sponsor and are 100% legal in USA?

No change about adult content, our license is not friendly to hosting companies specialize on adult hosting.

mistwang, you never did answer my question on this. What's LiteSpeed's policy on fictional erotic stories? One could argue that fiction is art, and not truly adult material, but I'd like to hear it definitively.

LiteSpeed's licese is not friendly with dedicate erotic story hosting service either. I am not sure there is corelation between litespeed and what happened at Fanfiction.net, but it is definitly a good move to us.

What about adult toys stores?

Also, can you tell me why you disagree to support licenses for legal adult material? You're losing a big pie of market...

By dedicated you mean that the main content is erotic stories. What about a site that allows original stories of anything, which may or may not have erotic content? But, on the whole is mostly non-erotic. Currently this site is on lighttpd, and I'd like to put it on Litespeed.

It depends on what kind of community it really is. Some sites do not limit content, but they are really trying to build an erotic community. If most content are not erotic and no erotic ads displayed, it should be fine.

Anyway, thank for contacting us regarding this.

Thanks for the reply, mistwang. I appreciate your help in clearing up my confusion, the site has since been moved to LSWS.

I'd like clarification on this. I was thinking of buying a licence for litespeed but one of the sites hosted on the server is a adult toy store.
