I'm sure you're not that nooby. XD;
But yeah, hey there, MrFayt! Also known as that dude who chose Blastoise as his avatar because he is awesome. Blastoise is a good choice for a first avatar, and you are automatically cool in my book because of that. I'm not saying that to be the guy who tells people whether they're cool or not, I'm just saying that because I really like Blastoise. Can you blame me? It's the final form of my first Pokémon, and my favorite one at that. So it only makes sense. Haha.
Anyway, it's cool that you know everything related to ROM Hacking goes to Emulation. We don't have to link the place to you or mention it here that way. Hooray for lazy people! There are a couple of things you might want to check out though. If you haven't closed the notices pop-up box, you should definitely see the threads that are linked in that box if you're not too busy. Of course, a look at the rules wouldn't hurt, too. But really, you should be free past that point to do whatever you please in this awesome site (definitely agreeing with you on this one!). I just want you to feel welcome.
Whatever it is you plan to do here, I wish you well on that. Maybe you should check out other threads that seem interesting that are outside of the Emulation section! You know, branch yourself out. It's a lot less one-dimensional to have lots of places to go to at PC, because with that you don't have to log in, check a single section and then log out when there's no activity. Also, if you need any help with PC as a new member, I'm always here! Just leave a message to a trusty mod or a good member. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.
