According to WowBB, the forum design(format) that Oscar had chosen for this forum, Mana is something like a buddy list. See below which I extracted from WowBB's site.




3.2. What is Mana? WowBB uses an advanced iterative algorithm to determine the most respected users. A user "adds mana" to other users she respects, and the more mana she has, the more the increase in recipients' manas. A user can also change her mind, and remove mana from someone to whom she added mana before. However, the more members a member adds mana to, the less the effect of those mana additions.
For example, let's assume that your mana is 3 out of 4. If you want to add mana to someone then you basically add him/her 3 points divided by the number of members to whom you added mana before. If you added mana to one member before, the amount of mana you would add is 3/(1+1)=1.5 points. This is a dynamic process. Whenever someone adds or removes mana, the manas of all members are calculated from scratch.
Finally, mana takes the normal distribution rule into account, and it gets increasingly accurate as you get more members.


It is a little complicated but it is easy to understand.Unless someone adds you to his/her Mana list, your mana will remain grey.

hehehe..... it is simple as ABC now eh?!?!

This explains why my little mana icons turn dark black and explode every once in awhile.  Must be some guys from WUS expressing their "love and respect" for me! :D:D:D:D:D
