Response to FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Let's put our questions and answers here

To the best of my recollection...Besides the background being yellow...originally this forum was for newbies getting into airgunning and the late owner James Kitching had a business selling Chinese airguns to beginners. We didn't specifically asked James and maybe this needs research though basically yellow is usually described for Chinese people's skin being yellow also hints to the public that they are "new" and "scared" about something. Essentially it was just Slang. He started this forum for that purpose and hope to promote his business. And at that time, the Chinese factories really started humming to churn out really in expensive airguns to import. Many transplants from a previous forum ran by Tom and Edith Gaylord moved over to the Yellow forum. That forum from the Gaylords was called Air Gun Letter Forum (AGLF) Some also have split a bit with Straight Shooters opening a forum.
