Brun, if it isn't too much of a hassle, I'd like to be removed from both of my teams (Asian Team and Team Sakura) and be moved to the Individual TAC portion of the page. I just don't have time to do team activities upon all of the activities I already have lined up using my languages.

Update:
Added a few more links. Thanks for the help in finding them, everybody.
Malek:
Since you are still a newbie, you don’t have all the rights of a more experienced member (posting links, etc.), so it would be best to get one of the others to do it. You can try asking them if one of them wants the job.
AnaV:
Viking is pretty packed with members, so they probably aren’t taking any new ones, but you could ask them.
The Real CZ:
Changed to an individual TAC.

Hi!
I'd like to change to individual TAC.
I'll still be browsing logs of people who learn the same languages as me.

I don't see any problems if you want to join us, Ana! So if you're still interested,
welcome on board! We didn't make any team decision on that, because it would probably
take ages until every member post their opinion. So let's just assume it's ok ;-)
It's obvious that we are way above the limit of 15 participants per team, but we seem to
have a few inactive members already. Furthermore, Ana is learning Danish, and as we have
so few of them, her participation would strenghten our Danish section.

Changed Przemek to an individual TAC.
Added AnaV to Viking.
For those who think that team size is limited to 15 members: It isn't and actually never was. I simply decided to start a new team/waiting list when a team reached 15 members rather then have a situation with a team having 25 members and not wanting more while there were half a dozen others wanting to join. So the 15 members thing was not a real limit, just a temporary measure to try to even out team sizes in those cases where there would be likely to be huge numbers of people wanting to sign up for those languages. Unfortunately, it was a bit late by the time I starting trying to do that as things had already gotten a little out of control. Next year it will be done differently and in a more controlled manner right from the start.

I'm still not sure what the point of being in a team is. Apart from some niggling guilt for not having the time to read all of their posts, is there indeed any point? Please inform me if I'm just missing it...
I think that I'll just pull out of teams and go individual.

The point of a team is to help each other with advice, resources and a gentle nudge when you start to struggle with your motivation because life gets in the way or because the languages are harder than you expected. If you do not need that, and do not care about people coming by your log to show support, and show interest in what you do, then going solo sounds like the right choice for you. You still might get the occasional visitor who is simply interested in what you do.

It all sounds nice, Solfrid, though I'm more in need of native speakers than cheerleaders, if you get what I mean. :)
