Hey hey hey, Shiny! Welcome to the forum! <3
Baha, I love eeveelutions too. Honestly, who can dislike them? They're way too adorable and definitely the most unique bunch of Pokemon in the whole series. Have you accepted Sylveon as a member of the family yet? I personally think it's adorable and considering crowning her as my favorite eeveelution.. though it's a very hard choice since they're all amazing. My current favorite is Flareon. :) We have a cool
fanclub dedicated to these guys and I'd recommend joining and showing everyone how big of a fan you are! Be sure to fill out the form in the first post.. once you've done that you're free to just have a great time and answer topics posted in the thread.
ROM hacking is another great interest to have because of how big it is here, so you're totally in the right place. I daresay our Emulation board is the most extensive and active place here; it's got so many tutorials and resources that it's almost mind-boggling. Do you generally just play ROM hacks or delve into creating some of your own? You'll find a lot of great things that you can take advantage of if you ever have plans to make a fangame for our wonderful members. I'll be one of the first people to take a look if you ever do pursue such (though I personally don't create hacks myself, haha).
We also have quite a lot to do even outside of hacking; only a small percentage of the forum hack as we all boast varying hobbies and interests. There are artists, writers, roleplayers, hackers/gamemakers, and even musicians around here so regardless of what you're interested in, it'll be accepted quickly. So yeah.. no worries about being shy or anything like that, all right? n~n;
Have a wonderful stay and great meeting you, Shiny! If you're ever looking for a friend then be sure to give me a shout. You seem like a fun person.
