Hi @JohnnyRotten410!
The forum uses this thing called “Trust Levels.” This a way so that new members don’t “hurt” themselves as they learn the forum and the features that come with it. To create a topic, you must be at Trust Level 1. There is more info here: Trust Levels and How To Advance
Achieving Trust Level One is easy. The criteria is:
- Enter 5 Topics
- Read 5 Posts
- Spend at least 15 minutes reading posts on the forums
Once you do that, you will receive a Personal Message from the system saying that you have been upgraded to Trust Level 1 
There is this topic here you can read for further info: Why Can’t I Create a Topic?
Cheers and see you in the skies!
