Ethereal Realms project is a concept web-based chat system based loosely on IFC and WBS which are both now defunct.

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.

Here are some key features of "Ethereal Realms":
