ShlupQuack: You are the plum in my apple orchard! Oh how sweet you are but then one's teeth hit your core and it's like "ow" but one doesn't care.

Loony BoB: Sometimes when you do the things you do you do them in such a
WAY, you know?! And I just wanna squeeeeeeze you and then I can't because you're so far away and then I realise you'd probably beat me if I did and so I sigh and I'm happy again. And so you make me happy, Loony BoB!

Lifetime Achievement: Loony_BoB
This guy posted some pie charts and made stupid jokes and apparently that means something around here. He's actually been slacking off on the pie charts lately, which leads me to believe he may no longer deserve this award. But oh well, not my decision to make.
There is no currently active member who has done more for EoFF than the BooB. EoFF was steadily growing when he arrived on the scene, but he helped shape it to what it became. The Ciddies in their current form was his work, and he turned them into more than just a minor event. He helped drive work on the frontsite and activity on the forums. Individually he has done as much as anyone, and without him EoFF would be a very different place. For one thing, Feedback (back when it was actually interesting) would have been
way more boring without him to argue with. He has always been passionate about EoFF and committed to doing the best he can for it. He's usually right about the important things, too.
Beyond the larger work for the forums and website, BoB has been a great person to have around. He's a good friend and easily approachable to talk to about any issues, whether they started in or out of the forums. Many a time I personally ranted to him about my own frustrations of running a message board (filled with idiots), and Daniel always supported me. Well unless he was being lazy or just not replying to my IMs, in which case I just cursed his name until I felt better. But usually he supported me.
Congratulations, Daniel. You certainly deserve it.
Lifetime Achievement: ShlupQuack
This award is pretty anticlimatic after BoB's. I mean, what has Shlup done in comparison? Yelled at people? Been on-and-off staff more times than an addict in rehab is on-and-off drugs? Accomplished the feat of being the only active staffer to have been EoEO banned? Did Shlup just "earn" this award by
doing what she does best? Shlup's award, as far as I can figure, is for having the most obnoxious ass in EoFF staff history. The staff at one point had to make an announcement that they were banning Shlup's ass from further staff contribution. Actually this award should probably go to ShlupQuack's ass instead; is it too late to change this?
In all honestly, Shlup has been around forever, longer than any currently active staff member. Her adamant (and incessant) opinions have been thrown around the staff forum for years, and she has certainly had an effect on EoFF, both through her activity and her contributions to the staff. Shlup also livens up the forums at EoFF, as much as any staff member. From her trademark bluntness to her rather disturbing obsession with Twilight, it is never a dull moment with her active.
Shlup also adds to the quality of discussion on the forums, as her bluntness is both amusing and often accurate. While she is loathe to admit it, she does agree with me about pretty much everything of significance, which necessarily means she's usually right! Although neither of us shy away from arguing the less significant things to death. But despite our apparent distaste for each other, you can tell Shlup really cares about me. I mean, she did schedule her wedding on my birthday after all!
In all seriousness, Shlup, EoFF would not be nearly as fun without you. Congratulations, Amanda. <3

Lifetime Achievement: Loony_BoB
I first encountered this gentleman in the final of Mr. Eyes on Final Fantasy 2003. I am proud to say that actually managing to defeat Loony BoB that day is my greatest ever EoFF achievement!
The man has done an enormous amount of work for this website over the years, serving on all three staffs. Countless improvements have come as a direct result of him. The Wiki? Came from BoB's idea of an EoFF Book. Eizon? BoB again! Stats at the bottom of the forum page? Guess who! Even after all this time on staff he is still coming up with improvements, like the new unread posts system.
Also personally he is a very nice guy who is always happy to help people with their problems, both personal and forum-related. I know he is the man who I will turn to when I eventually break EoFF, and I know he will fix it with a smile. He also has a very good sense of humour. God knows he has taken me calling him the root of all evil for the past 6 or so years a lot better than most people would!
Lifetime Achievement: ShlupQuack
Like BoB, my first ShlupQuack experience also goes back to the Mr./Ms. Eyes on Final Fantasy contest in 2003, where she was actually hosting it. And I guess that is a prime example of why she deserves it, she's been doing stuff like this for
years.
She's responsible for both the Fluffy Puff and Under The Sea skins, both of which are adored by her fans. I know how long it takes just to code skins so I shudder to think how long it took her to do that and make the icons too. Shlup definitely does more than her fair share of mod and admin work, providing ass whuppin's and name changes when necessary.
She is also one of the funniest ladies I have ever encountered in my life. The burns she dishes out are top class, and to her credit, she can take them as well as she can give them. And maybe a lot of people don't give her credit for this but she is also incredibly caring - you only need look at some of her EoEO posts to see that. She may be blunt and to the point, but for the most part, that's not out of contempt

Lifetime Achievement: ShlupQuack
Eight year ago, when Cid couldn't be around every day to keep an eye on his forum, he asked his trusted friend ShlupQuack to keep watch. If Cid is EoFF's father, Shlup is EoFF's mother. Mama Shlup has been on staff here almost constantly since then. Her dedication to this site is amazing, and she is a most deserving addition to the EoFF Hall of Fame as a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Ciddie. Also, she has nice cans.

Lifetime Achievement: ShlupQuack
Shlupquack has been here forever, and ever, and ever....so the Lifetime Achievement Ciddie is an honour that is more than fitting. :) Of course, she is also the one who brought in Fluffy Puff and that should be cause for instant disqualification, but...I'll let that one little tiny insignificant (huge) incident pass. :) Honestly though, I do admire Shlup. She is an awesome Admin and EoFF would just not be the same without her. This is a well-deserved award. Congratulations! :)
Lifetime Achievement: Loony_BoB
BoB...what can I say about BoB. Throughout his years here BoB has gone above and beyond in every way...in everything...always. He has truly given all of himself to this site and to the members. Thank you, BoB. I love you. :)

Lifetime Achievement:BoB and ShlupQuack
For many people here, EoFF has been like a second home where they can chat with a friendly community, play some fun events, and talk a little FF now and then.
Two people on these forums have done much in their life to make EoFF a great place. I can't really say how much we owe BoB and Schlupquack for taking time out of their days to make EoFF run smoothly and be the fun place that it is for the last few years.
Now I figure we could thank them both by sending them to all expenses paid trip to a tropical island where they can sip Mai Thais and get massaged everyday by Antonio and Naomi the world renown masseuse, but that would require money from our end and lord knows everyone spent it all buying next gen consoles to play the next FF titles so we can come and chat with each other about it. I'm sure they will both understand and come to realize that our sacrifice for not giving them what they deserve so we can better utilize the forum they manage is actually the right thing to do. That's just the kind of people they are.
In all seriousness though, I would like to thank them both for their hard work and dedication for all these years despite rarely ever getting a proper thank you from those of us that frequent this forum. Thank you for all your hard work and may w celebrate again in another ten years when EoFF turns 20. :cool:

I can't say that I know BoB very well.
All that I can remember is that he'd usually be asleep whenever I asked for something (what a screwy time difference).
I also remember that he and smittenkitten played some Diablo II with us over Battle.net: I pissed them off pretty quickly).
Hell, I can even remember that he's got an eye for recognizing people that are going to wind up to be pretty important for EoFF. He said something about having to keep an eye on me my first Ciddies here: something about me producing stuff.
But as it turns out, I also remember that he's been a pretty vital member of every stage of EoFF's life, often being an active community member and leader. Whatever the hell the word "leader" means to you. Chances are, it's probably been applied.
Lifetime Achievement: ShlupQuack
She's mean, she's evil, she's crass. I imagine that if she were 100 years younger, and I were 100 years older, we'd make a dangerous pair of assholes.
Too bad! What can be said of someone who's been on Staff three separate times? I can't say much about the past; I'm not one for reminiscing. All I know is that a dangerous alliance is starting to brew. Seems an appropriate time for it, with the forums one step in the grave, that the few people that care to do anything anymore are willing to forge an alliance of evil.

Lifetime Achievement: Loony_BoB
Loony BoB has been on Eyes on Final Fantasy since the dawn of time. Since he has joined EoFF, he has contributed a great deal to the site including, the EoFF World Map, Eizon, Feedback Forum, #eoff chat stats, the EoFF Award name, "Ciddies" and the EoFF wiki. He has also hosted the Ciddies numerous times. So yes, I don't think anyone could argue that he isn't a valuable asset to have on the staff.
Lifetime Achievement: ShlupQuack
ShlupQuack's contribution to the site as a whole is unfounded. She is mostly known for her antics with changing people's avatars and names on the whim. She also likes to talk about babies and The Sims. Aside from that, she contributes to the staff by keeping bishes in check in serious business threads like Eyes on Each Other. You can thank ShlupQuack for many of the smilies we have on the list and you can also thank her for the Fluffly Puff and Under the Sea skins. Be sure to check out her lovely Sims thread featuring various EoFF members.
