The reason why we ask users not to reply is because these threads are posted automatically. As far as you know, the admin could be asleep or offline. It also helps to keep discussions in their own threads. If backtracking is ever necessary, it's easier to go to a thread entitled "Categories" or "Help with categories" or "How do you create categories?" than a thread entitled "Welcome!".

With that in mind, to create a category, first read the rules. If the category you want to create follows those rules - and make sure it does; excuses like "I thought it did" are not acceptable - the easiest way to create a category is to add it to an article first, then follow the link at the bottom of the page (where all the other categories are). You can create it there.
