Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it.

Well, as of late, we have all noticed many differences in what forum contains what. Not to point any fingers, but it seems many are confused as to what forum to post what information in. So, I thought I would give it a shot at writing up a small little guide. And for the idea, I thank Gods Prophet, or at least I think it was him >_>.
