Anyway, it's for a general sense of order. If people just put things wherever they felt like it, it would be complete chaos, and make it harder to find certain threads. It's an organizational matter. Plus it's common sense, they make a forum for people to put stuff in, you put the topic in there. Makes it easier on everyone involved.
Edit: bah, beat me to it. *goes to do something more constructive.* :p
