Pokécommunity High/Low Moment:
Starting Dark Hacking Inc. rom hacking team with KobreLair.

Why it is special to you:
When I first joined PokeCommunity I really didn't have a group that really belonged too. I kind of jumped around the forum, and I posted everywhere. There was not one specific forum that I was really fond of. After a while of being on PC I eventually found rom hacking. I started out just looking at different hacks just to see what was out there. Pokemon Brown was the first hack that I really fell in love with and I couldn't believe that a Pokemon game as fun as that was created by someone that wasn't Nintendo.

Starting out I just downloaded some mapping tools and started playing with them just to see how they worked. Within a month or so I was using the tools to create some test hacks. They weren't advanced by any means, but I had made them.

My first hack that I attempted was a hack called "Pokemon Aqua". I'm not gonna pretend I remember what this hack was about, but I do remember creating the game through maps, text, and a few events up to the first 4 or 5 towns. My procrastination prevailed and my will power to finish it decreases. I ended up giving up on the hack after a few months.

After a few ideas that never went anywhere I joined up with Alex (KobreLair) and we started a hacking team called Dark Hacking Inc. Alex had admired the mapping from my old hacks and he became head developer and I became head mapper. We were the cofounders of Dark Hacking Inc (DHI). DHI took off fairly quickly in PC rom hacking forum due to Alex notoriety from his first hack called Pokemon Nature. We staffed the Inc with about a dozen people and starting working on a new RSE hack called Pokemon Forest Nature (Alex's second hack).

We started a vB forum for our team and we had a fairly active community for about 6 months. All of the hacking and our small hacking community didn't last very long, but it was one of the greatest times I've had on PC. I'll remember it for a long time to come.
