Oh my am I late on this one...
Sorry, sometimes I just completely don't see some of these threads. :x
None-the-less, I shall welcome you to this fine community!
Welcome to the forums, Dominic! I'm sure you will find great happiness around this large community of ours. However, don't despair over its size! The Pokecommunity may look a little intimidating at first, but the organization and layout will make perfect sense to you after a while. In fact, you will begin to see when threads are placed in the wrong area... That's what the report button is for. xD
(But that will come at a latter date.)
For now, I'm sure you are getting along just fine. I'm also sure that you will be known around here quite well as long as you apply yourself and stay active. People respect activity and they know they can count on you to be there for them. That right there is how you get known.
(Well, that and be as zany and spontaneous as you possibly can!)
Hope to see you around the boards, Dominic. Take care now.
