It would be much easier to follow the back-and-forth multi-quoted discussions if the bodies of the quotes are colored differently than the main text of the poster. A color or shade scheme that will differentiate more recent posts from deeper posts will be quite helpful.

I'm sceptical that this will work.

perhaps we could change all of TJ's old posts to invisible ink

That would break the continuity of many threads.

How about assigning each member their own permanent colour. An 8-bit RGB space supports over 16 million possibilities (perhaps 14 million if we eliminate "light" colours) which is more than enough for our happy family. I'm sure some clever algorithm could automagically allocate colours to the members, especially the most active ones, so that chromatic similarity is minimized. Or members could self-select their own colour with a tool that tells them if they are getting "too close" to some other member's chosen colour.Or we could just keep "black" so that everyone has equal gravitas.

My first choice:Magenta

Preferred colour for the true hypercapitalist:

I'm with Paris Hilton this time.However, that shade of green is a great color for a hypercapitalist car.I would like this car:Maybach S 57In this color 1972 Lamborghini Espada(Maybe just a little more silver and not quite so green):For some other hypercapitalist cars:Top Ten CarsAt #1 - the Bugatti Veyron - sticker price $$1,192,060Traden, you would look great in this one also: Pagani Zonda Roadster F C12S 7.3, Clubsport version

Cars are OK, but I'm afraid I was spoiled by a summer internship designing stuff for these:With unlimited budget, I'd go for this:

Well, you know how I feel about those.
