I think I've got it sussed!

Ignoring the yellow people ( sorry Neil - GOLD people) who are merely that colour because they won the coveted awards (best whinger, that kind of thing) there was a time when we had a shop on here and we could buy things with our ackers. One of the things we could buy was a colour for our names. I had a purple one. In fact I had it twice because I bought a purple name, that got hijacked in an upgrade round about the same time that we lost all our ackers in a bank raid and had the rest devalued due to AccyWeb inflation. I saved up again for another one, this time a slightly lighter shade as I recall.

Other people preferred to purchase thngs like a drop shadow, a reverse image and Tealeaf if I remember correctly bought a scribble so you couldn't read his name at all!!!

It looks to me like all those of us who donated to AccyWeb now have green names and those of us who had previously puchased a different colour or name variant are now the ones with thick green names.

Unless of course anyone knows differently - and it's no good asking Roy cos he hasn't a clue!
