Stupid idea bro, and I’m not new.
At the time of your post you had “just joined 30 minutes ago” and had replied to only 2 posts ever. That’s new bro status here.

And that makes sense to you? 14 years of paying for eve and now I have to wait in line to post a new topic? Fabulous!!!

Are you trying to post in the top level category, or a subcategory? Because you can’t post in the top level
Check out this Dev Blog for more details of how the new forums work.
This part goes into detail:
Highlighted in green is a simple category that has just one forum section, all posts made here are displayed when you click on “New Citizens Q&A”
Below that is a category (red) that can be filtered by subcategory (yellow). Clicking the red link will show you all the threads in the four categories in the yellow box. Clicking a single category in the yellow box will show you just the threads in that sub forum.
In a simple category, you can post threads directly to the main category, for instance “New Citizens Q&A”. In complex categories, the main category simply acts as an index, and you need to post threads to the subcategories, in this case “General” “Crime & Punishment” etc.
Hope this helps!

Or, sign out and ignore it. Thanks for making Eve more difficult and less enjoyable.
So many colors and buttons 
Hmm, I don’t know how I feel about this. 
It feels kind of non-intuitive. Maybe if there was a tooltip when you hover over the faded out “new topic” button, it would be better.

Exactly
Good way to get people not to use the forums
But I guess the old “Nobody said anything so nothing is wrong” scenario is at play

Except that we are saying something! I only found this thread because I, too, didn’t know there couldn’t be posts in the parent forums. Probably I would discover that on my own, but still: it would have been much easier if a little tooltip told me “can’t post on parent forum, only on sub forums”.
Dont like the system too. New to the game (and forums), just wanted to search a fitting corp and cant post any thread for it. Maybe later then.
You’ll want the Recruitment Center for that.
