A somewhat reclusive member of Dai M’Hael, Defen has been one of our Tower Masters of the Watch for over seven years, hosting and maintaining our server environment over this period of time and more. Ready to jump onboard to assist whenever there’s a database or server issue, he has taken calls at just about every time of day or night, and maintains a very laid back and friendly personality throughout all of the wonderful vagaries our environments have endured over the years. I think it’s probably safe to say that without him, we most likely wouldn’t be the site we are today.

Siera (formerly Hanajima ) also comes to us from the Grays, and has been our Marketing Project Manager for the past three years, after having served the community in a variety of other roles, both Marketing related and not.

Moderator of the Year: Ty al'Djinn
