@Nduke: The latest crop of admins may have all had close ties to Sprink, but most if not all of them also had broad support among people who took the trouble to comment on the question. As for most of the admins not doing anything, what do you think they should be doing? Apart from the cleanup project (which I don't really need help for, but would love to have), most admin functions don't take a significant amount of time. Most of the newer admins are there if needed, but aren't really needed very often. And don't assume that they're not here just because they don't have a lot of edits. They could still be monitoring their talk pages. The fact is that we (fortunately) don't need all that many admins, and to the best of my knowledge, adminship was never meant to be simply a reward for being active.

That said, Toad would be my first choice (and not just among the names you mentioned) if/when we decide that we need new admins. Radi doesn't seem to be as active lately, although that may be temporary, just as it was apparently temporary for TAU, TDIWriter and Lalainee. (School just let out for most of our users, so it's potentially unfair to base judgments on the last couple of months.) I don't really have enough contact with your other "nominees" to comment on whether they would make good admins.
