How about starting with the big one, that I should probably know the answer to: What do the VT actually do in the background?
A solid question.
The Volunteer Team (VT) have a little private forum where we discuss ongoing plans for the site in terms of running threads and things. For example, initial planning for the tokyo 2020 olympics and paralympics forum took place there, before things got set up properly in public. However, we aren't involved in any decisions to do with the site itself, like changing the community guidelines, closing forums or making tech changes.
We also help to support and mentor some of our wonderful Forum Helpers and do a lot with them too.
We used to get some selling washing machines and kitchens. Don't think they are knocking about any more (certainly not getting past the automatic filters anyway), but they were fun.

It was the first (big) project I set up when I became a Forum Helper, and I put a huge amount of time and effort into it (way way way beyond the usual expectations).
However, there is always something special about being part of the TSR Results squad each year too, so that comes as a close second.
