I didn't bother with the thread, originally, becuase I didn't expect such detailed FAQ. I think I'm gonna like it here. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum and the sport!!
Read the sticky's.... if you have a question about an air tank check the stickys in the Air forum before posting.
Simple things like that and every one will like you.
 Have fun and enjoy

Are you addicted to Star Trek, oh I don't watch Star Trek but I heard about this Kling-On (sp?) language and does it work?

Addicted? Nope. I'm not much into TV, but I am very much into both the Star Trek shows and movies as well as the Stargate shows and movie.
As for the Kling-On language... It's Klingon, an alien race introduced in the original series and featured heavilly in the 2nd & 4rd shows, a few episodes of the fourth, and a back ground alien race in the 5th show as well as four of the movies.
The Klingon language was developed for the 3rd movie and was developed as a fully functional language. As for how it works? I've no idea, but you can check me forum and ask arround. PM me for the adress.

Someone knows his Star Trek...
Welcome to the sport and the forums. They've pointed you in the direction of the stickys, but if you want the history of paintball in excruciating detail, talk to HP_Lovecraft. He's the PBF Messiah.
Literally.

Heads up about pbf(paintballforum) is that you cannot post any website that sells paintball supplies EXCEPT www.xpaintball.com because they pay for the site.Just letting you know so you dont get in trouble later.No spamming either,you can get band for a good amount of that.
