I don't want to start any new threads or spam I just want to ask a few questions in one of the forums, but I can't do that for some reason until I have 5 posts
here or somewhere I don't even know.

"Until you have made your first 5 posts,"
WHERE?

"you can only start new threads in the new members forum"
I don't want to start a new thread in any forum I want to reply, but it says I have to come here and start a new thread

This might help you with the site...

As part of the forum's anti-spam measures, new members are initially restricted to where and how they can post. This system is based off of your post count, and consists of three stages. Please note that it can take up to an hour for the forum software to update your account between each stage.

0 to 5 posts:
New members can only post in the New Members Forum.
Cannot post links. (Just put spaces in them like this: www. example .com)
Cannot use Private Messaging (PMs).
Cannot have a signature.
Cannot post images (photos) if linked to on another site.

5 to 15 posts:
Members can post in other forums and use Private Messaging.

15 posts and above:
Members can post in all open forums, and can now have a signature.
Note that some forums are private: access is for special membership categories.
