Welcome JustinP! Yeah this is the best place to go to for Pokemon Community involvement. n_n I mean we are one of the largest Pokemon forums, not to talk us up or anything--who am I kidding, I'll totally talk us up, we're the best. :3 I hope you meet a lot of us too!
What's some of your interests in particular? Maybe you should figure them out and head to the Adoption Center - the sticky up the top of this forum, might be a way to get better settled into PC. But ya, have fun around here, no matter where PC leads you!!
