To your left above "Latest Topics" you'll find "Create New Topic" which basically does exactly what it says on the tin. Click the link and you can start creating a brand new topic without having to shuffle through forums and other crap (probably better suited to those who are very lazy coughRorycough) and the best thing is, if the thread already exists somewhere else I can merge it with the current one or simply delete it. Everyone's a winner, life is easier for everyone.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
