What isn't good about being a TA?
To be honest, I'm not a veteran at this, so I don't have years and years of experience of which I can comment on. I can say a few things, however. (Note: I'll simply use "partying" as opposed to using "clubbing" or "raving", just 'cause. Oh, and don't mind me if I switch back and forth from 1st to 3rd person. It's still early...)
Simply put, partying before being an active tranceaddict.com member just wasn't nearly as fun as partying is now. Before being a TA, you'd attend parties with whatever other friends, have some fun and whatnot, then go home. Not a whole lot would be said afterwards, and you're lucky if you had a friend that could ID tracks as well as some of you on here can. 
As is often said, the TA group always creates an amazing vibe at parties. I've found that this vibe seems to increase at a rate equivalent to that of the increase in the number of TA's present. Partying with TA's as a an active member yourself and having a good time just go hand in hand. Even if the party isn't all that great, you're still bound to enjoy yourself with the massive. A huge portion of the fun that is had can be owed to those with whom you had fun.
A great thing about being a TA is that you've always got a bunch of people who are excited before, during, and after these parties. The party, roll call and review threads - they're all there.  Also, obviously so, these are people with whom you can easily relate to through a common love for trance music and even other genres as well. Not only do they have great love for and knowledge about the music, but they are also always willing to share these two with those who are new to the scene and want to know more.
I've met so many awesome people after having become a member on this forum and it's made partying so much more fun. It's an open and friendly group with many amicable and outgoing people. There is no need to be shy around them, but if you are, there's always someone there to introduce you to the other members. TA's are also really helpful. If you're having trouble with something like getting to a party or acquiring music, someone's always willing to help. I myself owe many thanks for such things and more.
Anyhow... I don't want to get repetative, so I'll leave it at that for now. Hope that's done some good, DJLocoMoco.
