Oh I didn't realize this would be posted so soon. I saw BooB's email earlier today and was going to write a speech tonight. But definitely worthy recipients. Proto was an active staff member for years, and after stepping down continued being an active contributor to the EoFF community in a number of ways, from running competitions to his regular fanart series on the frontsite. I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a non-staff member who has done as much work as he has (beyond simple posting) to keep EoFF active and enjoyable.

Most of Baloki's work has been behind the scenes, writing code and working on the website -- all while I was not on staff, so I can't say much about it. But he has done a lot more than simply make cryptic GC and Feedback threads where no one has any idea what he's talking about.

IIRC, Proto was commenting on how he rather enjoyed having a stick up his butt, and resented the staff's suggestion that he should take it out. I think it's a fetish.
