What's this 'Mana' business?

[RebeccaUK]

Hi Everyone

Can anyone tell me what Mana means that appears next to everyonesname? I clicked on it a few times for a couple of people andit said I had added to their mana - I don't know if thats a good or abad thing!!!!:?

I was wondering the same thing. I hope it's a good thing.

Mana is suposed to be a system of rating if aperson has given you good advice, been really nice to you, or othergood things. Most people don't even know it's there so we don't reallyuse it here.

We definitely don't use it and it doesn't workproperly anyway. At one time, it was supposed to be used asto who you thought gave good information on theforum. Because it is unreliable and unnecessary, westopped using it completely. If you'llnotice,somenew members have 3 full blocks filloutout andhave onlyposted 3 times. Tomorrow,it may jump back to her having none.

The webmaster doesn't understand why it functions so sporatically andcan't seem to come up with a reason to fix it, so we all ignoreit.

It's not appropriate, reliable, or important. Pay no mind toit. It was originally given by clicking on the mana box insomeone's post, but as I said, it doesn't record properly. Itreally means nothing to us.

Don't do It! Clicking on mana means your computer will "self-destruct" in the very near future.

Oops! Did it already? Oh, wella...too bad.

Only kidding!

Hi Carolyn!

I watch it every time it's on if I can. I've also got the tape andyou're right when you say that it's not the same. When I was younger Ican remember waiting until this time of year to watch it. I was luckyto have a black and white TV in my bedroom, but my parents would alwayslet me watch it in color in the living room. Dorthy gets to OZ opensthe door and everyone goes "OOOOOHHHH". It's was kind of a magicalexperience. And the commercials... no cable back then, no tape, no DVD.It was part of the experience. Anyway, I think the commercials werebetter back then. It also gave us a chance to run to the kitchen orbathroom and then you'd hear everyone else yelling "It's back on,hurry!!".

My older sister saw it when it was in the theaters. She was prettyyoung and she still remembers being so scared when the wicked witch ofthe west showed up. They even had to walk out until she settled down.

Love Rudolph. too

I have nothing to add about the mana.

I adore the movie. Now the Flying Monkeys are a differentstory. The first time I saw that movie I had nightmares for a month andWould Not go outside without an umbrella, rain or shine. Figuredthey couldn't get me through an umbrella. Made more sense as akid.:?

The monkeys still freak me out nasty looking things. I'm glad our forum Monkeys are of the adorable hopping kind.
