Ah, I see. Well, there's a Professor Layton fanclub that's up, you should join that.
Oh, and make sure you introduce yourself in the New Users forum, I'm sure there will be some people that you'd love to talk to. :)
With VMs, I recommend that you post back on the other person's profile page, or click "View Conversation", and post. Makes everything much easier. xD;
I hope you enjoy your stay! :D
