| Ethereal Realms Chat |
Originally Ethereal Realms began as a concept chat system, that attempted
to emulate the World Broadcasting System (WBS) and Island Fortress Chat
(IFC) sites, both of which now defunct. These sites had their strengths
and weaknesses and where WBS was known for anonymity, IFC for its
multi-user capabilities. The existence of Ethereal Realms existence hinged
on success of creating an interface which merged the two systems creating
a singular vision and to a point this succeeded.
This vision has grown significantly over the years incorporating more
features outside of its original design and surpassing features that were
found on either site. Today Ethereal Realms incorporates real time chatting
capabilities, forums, polls, user homepages and a robust self-contained
gallery component reminding people slighty of those offered on
Elfwood.
During most of this time Ethereal Realms was also home to a thriving community
in which the features existed to bring in fresh blood and create offshoot sites
since the code was freely available. Unfortunately, external factors began to
exert their pressure and forced the site to scale down considerably from what
it had once been.
Now Ethereal Realms exists primarily as a method of showcasing the
code itself.
New features are added from time to time and while the scripts still work, they
exist almost exclusively for testing purposes. For those looking for the remnants
of Ethereal Realms you may wish to look into the following sites:
◦ Infinity Bound
◦ Sanguinem Draconis
◦ Silver Crossings
◦ Whispering Realms Chat
Otherwise, feel free to look around. You'll find that the galleries have
works on display, Realms of a more generic nature exists to give you an idea
on how a community can exist on this system. Enjoy!
