Color of text

Heey guys,
I'm still new to the forums, and i'm wondering what the colors of the topics and authors are about.
Sometimes topic names are red, sometimes purple, yellow etc.
Or is this just to put a little color in the forums?
Please answer, thanks

It's just the author's way of making the text unique, I suppose. It doesn't have any specific meaning

Decoration. We all love decoration

They usually go by importance. Global announcements are usually green, yellow/red are usually stickies by admins/upper management. Cyan are usually announcements as well.


But for the most part, they don't really mean much except just eye-candy; they caught your attention!

okay, thanks guys!
But what about the author's name colors? Can u like change it?

Color of the author's name represent his rank in SM.

White=public member
Orange=donator
Light blue=trainee
Red=rank
Purple=VIP member
Green=trainee manager
Yellow=rank manager
Cyan=general

I'm not sure about color name that admins have

EDIT: Topic colors are mostly just for decoration. Only exception is in applications forums where Cyan means pending,yellow means accepted and red means denied. For T/HT applications red means pending and yellow means accepted.

That's all I wanted to know, thanks!
