Two fan archives in The Lord of the Rings and Twilight fandoms — LOTRfanfiction.com and The Twilight Archives — have been bought by a web developer named Keith Mander, who plans to develop these archives' features and to generate profit by increasing traffic and adding advertising.

AD&T has been a little bit quiet for a while, as quite a few members of the committee have had a busy and/or turbulent couple of months. However, we've still been working away, and there is some exciting stuff on the horizon!

Einen Trommelwirbel, bitte! Der Moment ist da, in dem wir die Gewinner der zurückliegenden Abstimmung zu den Servernamen verkünden möchten. In diesem Eintrag erfahrt ihr nicht nur die endgültigen Namen, sondern auch warum wir so lange gebraucht haben, die Gewinner bekannt zu geben.

Die Namen, die ihr gewählt habt, sind:

* DB: Ada Lovelace
* Rails: Sherlock Holmes & John Watson
* Speicher: TARDIS
* O1: Spock
* O2: James T. Kirk
* Switch: Nyota Uhura

Ein Hoch auf diese Namen und auf unsere großartigen eigenen Server!

Here are the names which won the vote:
