If you are an admin, I think you're able to do that. Any member of the admin team should be able to create new forums. Unless Matthew has become a paranoid tyrant, restricting most administrative privileges and reserving them all for himself, single-handedly carving out this side of the internet into that of an edifice of his perfectly sculpted face, ruling over these natives with a lead fist, using a podcast to forever placate these lost and damned souls, solidifying his rule.
Once beloved was Matt Campen. But observe how a great man can fall. And after he's exposed the umbra of all men's hearts and tainted what reputation he once had, we won't write of his accomplishments. Nor will we write of his failures. No, the last we'll say of Matt Campen will be a clipped and embittered eulogy:
"Mr. Campen. He dead."
