Purple Forum Name

What does having a purple forum name signify (see Carnie Lyn for example)?


One man's terrorist is another man's freedom (or freem?) fighter; just as one man's exploit is another man's feature.

Interesting, I've never seen a purple name before. I honestly don't know what it means.

Please be more specific and link to this Carnie Lyn you speak of.

Interesting. Made today, one post that can't be pulled up - wonder if it's another department? Shows as citizen...

Edit - Link to profile.

Quick search - it's not just joined today, there are several others listed with regular white names. Future redname? Hidden mod? Something to do with GR?

I think Bill's on to something. Possibly a new Moderator Class.

Whoever they are, Welcome to the City!


Edit: Doh! Thanks Bill for the Quick Link

Well, it says they've made one post, and then when you click the "Find all posts by..." link, it gives you no posts. Posting in a hidden forum maybe? A new type of forum mod seems possible...

Marketing gave the okay for the dev team to finally announce Clown Summoning?

Thank you Memphis_Bill for the quick link and to others for responding. Good to know I was not (this time ) seeing something that wasn't there. Let the speculation continue.

If it's a Carnie party nothing could go wrong, but things can go so terribly, terribly right. Now i just have to decide which one to show up at, the one in Cap or the one in Steel.

Last time there was an off-color name like that, was the European boards and they had a posting intern.

And I think Ex-devs in good standing got orange? or something.

Orange, at one point, were community reps and mods, while red were devs. That lasted... not too long. (So currently orange would be avatea, niv, and ocho, for instance.)

The pink ("not quite red") and orange names were on the old boards. Don't get me wrong, it's clear (and I never doubted) that they can set the names to whatever they want...but this purple name is something new.

On the old forums, when Mods went to Orange and then back to Red; Orange was then used for 'associates' like Arctic Sun (and I think Agent Ruby from ATI). But on the new forums, they're definitely not Orange anymore.

Maybe they're just trying to lure people to switch to lower population servers right before the deadline to switch so they'd be trapped there!
