Should Grey SpurFans be allowed to start threads?

I would gladly forfeit my thread starting privileges in exchange for the demotion of no fewer than 4 blackened bolders (of my choosing) for the sake of a balanced ST universe.
These are my terms. I shall not be swayed.

I really wish I knew the story behind this.

Nah... you can keep your thread starting abilities... no one is giving up their entitlement.

We'll wait for your team to come back to relevancy :toast

I still don't understand why anyone pays attention to or cares about name color. Or very high or very low post count, for that matter. A good take is a good take, regardless.

I'm not even sure what name color is supposed to mean. Does it take some combination of post count/length of time on the board to become a 'black name' fan, or is merit also a component (and if so, could someone tell me which of my stunningly insightful comments earned me the badge of honor)?

I have gray hair !

Kori stated a long while back that it used to have meaning. At some point, something happened to the site though and scrambled everything. She said that the "coloring and bolding" were random now. I'm not sure if that was ever fixed.

He's probably acting out this video for the class.

hmmm I never knew the color of the nicknames indicated the knowledge of a poster.

Why I'm grey, tho? I'm not a troll, never started a thread and generally I know what I'm talking about.

They're the Spurs colors, silver and black. The admins colored the other teams to make it more identifiable. It then kind of grew as a forum meme and as an incentive.
