I admit when I found ATS, I knew I had found a great place to learn, discuss and hang out
I'm glad you and so many others agree.
You've arrived at the best website to discuss what others say not to discuss at all:
Religion. Politics. Paranormal. UFOs. NWO. WOT. Podcasts. Skunk Works 
Here is a hand book of links that may help you answer some questions you have about stuff on ATS
And be sure to check out Smokin BQB Threads and the
Freshman Forum to facilitate your enjoyment at ATS. 
If you have any questions feel free to u2u me, or any other staff member. After you have made 20 posts, you can u2u with all
members.
Also, for avatar info, here are
kinglizard's avatar instructions and a
reminder to all ATS members.
And, for help to make those images fit and keep those links from going on forever, please see

Also, here's a great link to help you organize your favorite forums. It will also keep threads you post in as favorites:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
This link is also up at the top as
MyATS
And, don't forget to check out
PTS and
BTS.
You can log in to these other two forums with your ATS login information.
Also, there is
Ignorance Denied, and
TinWiki.org which require
a separate logins.
Have a good time here 
And, 
Welcome to ATS
