Elftown is an Internet community or social networking site for people interested in fantasy and science fiction. It was started as the official Elfwood social networking site in February 2002 by Henrik Wallin. Later on the project separated and became more like a sister site. The split became more tangible in 2007 when Elfwood's servers moved from Lysator, while Elftown's hardware remained there.
The community comprises mainly Elfwood users and other people interested in fantasy, science fiction, art or related subjects. Elftown has features such as diaries, a messaging system, a wiki, forums, guestbooks and user generated polls.
Elftown runs on small modern hardware bought by donations from its users, and is built on a unique software solution built on Roxen Webserver and Pike.
There is an application process to become a member of Elftown. People using netspeak may be locked out.
