I don't believe you can. I think only Mods can make threads here. I could be wrong though. I remember that was how it used to be, though.
It might have to go back to that with the latest fiasco.
But I can make a thread, just don't have a lasting topic for the moment.
Heck, I've made a music thread (I hope it never closes)
