Well, to be perfectly honest, I was a very immature person way back in the year of 2008. When I created an account back in January 2008, I never even posted on the forums, I only used the account to download new ROM Hacking tools. From being on the world wide web had helped me so much, I met my first friend on PC... which was chimchar9, which was around near the end of April. After that, I met even more new friends in the ROM Hacking community, I was so into ROM Hacking like I really wanted to look into Pokémon Diamond ROMs at the time, but was quite clueless during those times. My absent years came around in the nick of time, as 2009, 2010 and some of 2011 were the years in which I was distracted by other things... so I didn't come on PC much, but nowadays... I'm thinking "I wonder if I could start being more active on the forums again?", when I thought of that... I can promise you that. I will leave it up to anyone's decision to see if I have respect for the community. As my quote on MSN says, "Kindness will spread... to others that will do the same", something that I've grown more of... and become more respectful towards other people, as the more social I've been over those years... the even more kind I become... and help others in need of any help I can provide out to them, it has been my honor to help other people with any need of help as they can, I will do more in the way of helping with users in the ROM Hacking forum than I ever have, I must be more active... and I have to be more active... 'cause that... is my main goal. So I can learn more of ROM hacking... and to share our research of ROM Hacking, I'm also looking forward to looking into more research in the 3D layout engine of Pokémon Black/White. My name is Davin Fraser Ockerby, I'm someone who loves to meet new people and get to know them, I'm someone who is very social... way more than I used to be in the past... 'cause to be honest... I wasn't very much, even most people who used to be staff on PC know that. Things have changed since those times, as I've grown with more intelligence and more education than during those days, it's a good thing that we learn from our mistakes that we do, when we do... that's when we know to never do them again. I'm someone who was born with high-functioning autism, if you don't know what it is... it's an intellectual disability that makes the person do really well in some things and really bad with other things, like for instance... I was really sensitive to certain noises like the insect zapper at my school and movements like the washing machine hose. My sensitivity to those things gradually went away when I matured. I used to go to a school called Warrnambool Special Developmental School, it was a school for people with an intellectual disability like me, that school surely did have bossy teachers... but we didn't have to do much work, I'm now at South West TAFE... which is much more nicer than the school I used to go to. I'm pretty much a person who likes every single creature on Earth, no matter how it looks like, or what it does... it's nature. ^^ And it doesn't matter who it is or anything... I'd still be kind, polite... and respectful to anyone... regardless of their interests, appearance or what they do... but I will do anything to assist everyone here on PC, I'm also someone that will gladly accept anyone's friend request... and even if they send them out randomly... I will introduce myself to whoever adds me. It's all about kindness and getting along with everyone here. ^^​

Now that I'm thinking about being more active again, maybe it's about time I did more research on a Pokémon Black ROM and see how the 3D mapping system works, eh? Well for my resolution... I've decided that I should head over to the ROM hacking help threads to see if anyone is in need of help. I've gotta be more active... that's what I really need to do, so that I can do even more for the ROM Hacking community. There's so much stuff I need to learn as well, not just about programming... but also about more of the 3D layout in Pokémon Black so I can see which hexadecimal values I need to edit. It's something that I'd really like to contribute to the ROM Hacking forum to help out with the research in hacking the Nintendo DS Pokémon games. Has anyone noticed how there isn't any 3DS hacking yet? I can encourage that, though I may not know how to program exploits for the 3DS, but there is a possibility that I could encourage this. So far... we only see the ROMs of 3DS games, I plan to extend this further into a new era of ROM hacking... everyone to create their very own storyline of the games that Nintendo has made, we shall indeed bring this even further... and ROM hacking shall become even more popular, we can encourage more people to see how wonderful it is to create your very own ROM hack... even if it may be just a mini hack, it still is wonderful things we can do, we can even learn how to compose customized songs to insert into the ROMs, we can even create our very own tileset, just so many things we can do, it's incredible. ^^​

Why do I feel that I should be one? Well I feel the ROM hacking community needs some help, I assume it would benefit if I can bring in some research into 3DS ROMs and many other things. But even so, I don't feel that there's any "need" for me to be one, but even if I was... I surely would indeed have to be responsible for my actions that I do, it's not just bringing in research of new things that I could do, but it's also a matter of keeping things nice and tidy... like all forums should be. And even as my current status as of now, I can indeed help other ROM hackers that are in need of help, I can ask to see what their issue is, and then see if I know any ways of fixing it, if I don't know about how to fix the issue or if it's something that I haven't learned about, I would leave it up to someone who knows how to fix the issue, such as someone who does scripting. I hardly even know much about scripting, possibly some learning curve for me, eh? xD But to be perfectly honest, I'm not in a hurry to be a higher position, after all... I leave it up to the higher authorities to decide what their decision is. Forums have chosen people who do things very well and follow things well and can do their job. 'Cause otherwise... if we choose someone that is not very good... they could be even more stricter and harsher than others, that's why PC chooses the people are suited for their job, and everyone has their purpose, when we have been given a job on a forum... we have to do our best as we can, 'cause it is something we've been trusted with, we can't break that trust. When we say that we'd do our job, we must do so, or else we lose that position... but that doesn't mean it's the end... it only means that you're more suited off as a member, and that's what's important. ^^​

Well, it's completely up to PC to decide where I'd be suited for. I can guarantee you that I would mostly be around in the Emulation forum most of the time, it's not common for me to go elsewhere, but who knows, maybe I might? It always depends on how well you help others in the forum and how active you are in the forum and which places you'd often be in. It all comes down to judging my actions of what I do as a member of PC, my responsibility as a member on the forum. If I really have responsibility for the ROM Hacking forum... then I will have to make the most out of it as I can to assist anyone on the forum, and make the most out of my timezone, so that means no staying up all night, but at the same time... I'd have to set reminders to getting to bed and not get carried away by other things.​
