TAC stands for "Total Annihilation Challenge". it usually starts at the beginning of the new year. If you join, you are supposed to commit to studying the language for a full year, learning all that you can. You must start a log and put those three letters T-A-C and the team name somewhere in the title so that other team members can find it. You must also commit to reading other team members' logs. Along the way there will be team challenges (nothing too challenging) and you should provide emotional support and encouragement to team members who may be faltering.
In practice, TAC seems to me to be about social interaction while learning a language. People get really excited at the start of a New Year and have really good intentions when starting/joining a TAC team, but the good intentions typically don't carry through over the long term. Typically, the enthusiasm tends to wane by the end of January and few teams are left standing by the end of February. Even fewer teams are still around by the end of the year. Then, it starts all over again. Who knows? Maybe this year will be different...
Edit: That being said, it can be a good way to make friends on the forum and get into the habit of reading other people's logs. Or, you can just do that anyway.
