That's great. Thank you for all the positive changes you've already made! I love the fact that there are so many free sets, now. It's really nice, especially for newer members.

I remember feeling really unappreciated when I was on ET, and y'all have really made it better since then. I really wish people could see the progress ET(and the other teams) have made over the last few months.
big changes are coming, just wait. Frisk wrote:
Questions for Team Members:
1. On average, how much time do you spend each week doing team related activities for each team you are on?
>>> Being on three teams, ET, NT and the ModSquad has me busy every second I'm on VP. On top of the, my admin position has be working on VP even when I'm not logged on because I'll be communicating with Kaj or Miranda. So, I'm pretty dedicated to the teams. I feel like I should spend more time in NT since I haven't posted an article in awhile, but I've been busy with everything else, plus my job in real life as well.
I do as much as a I can with the spare time I have to helping the community.
2. What's the hardest thing about being on each of the teams for you?
>>> I think the hardest part is scheduling time for all the team members to see posts or work on stuff together at the same time. A lot of times you have to message people directly if you want them to see something in the forums and it's a bit annoying.
Aside from that, I think another hard thing is making the rest of the non-team member community realize how much effort we put in. We don't just spend out lives on VP, we have jobs and school as well. But people often get so mad if a ode expires or doesn't work right when they want it to. They don't really seem to appreciate everything we do as teams. Instead of gratitude, we get attitude. We're doing our best and sometimes we make mistakes.
I've been feeling really upset lately with the constant hate all the teams are getting. Not just my teams that I'm on, but designers, as well. Everyone is just, "Oh, I only want Rat's designs!" But what about the other designers? The community doesn't seem to realize how discouraging it is to our VP talent to just favour one person over the rest. Like, really, put yourself in their shoes for a moment. Imagine being shoved into someone else's shadow by a couple hundred people? Not so nice, huh?
And that ties into the ET and other teams that give away clothing prizes for competitions. You want, want, want more clothing sets for competitions, but how stressful that is for the designers? They have their own work to do, plus all of our requests and it's just so sad to see how under appreciated the teams are for all the work that they do.
3. Where would you like to see the teams go in the next several months?
>>> I'd like to see the teams just continue to do well. Keep their schedules constant and create a rhythm for the VP community.
4. Who other things would you like the members of VP to know about you and the teams you are involved with?
>>> I'd like the community to take a moment to think about how their words can affect the members of the teams. A lot of team members were upset by what was said recently and that's not okay.
And as far as the ET getting competition outfits not being fair, I'd like you to think about the outcome of a member of ET entering and winning an outfit. Everyone would say we picked them because they were on the team or something silly like that.
I can personally vouch for that happening since it happened to me when I won MOTM a long time ago. People got mad that another ET member won MOTM even though that was decided by the community by a blind vote. But people said it wasn't fair, and were very rude to me. I was willing to give up my spot to the runner up because I honestly felt like I'd done something wrong - but I didn't.
Blind votes don't solve the problems, I know by experience.
