What do the different name colors mean?

Some of the names are green, some are red, and some are white. What do these mean?

Edit: I just noticed some blue ones too.

When you signed up you picked whether you were a Nintendo (Red), Microsoft (Green), Sony (Blue), PC (White), or Neutral (Grey) fanboy.

My first guess was that they were for different ranks, like moderators and/or editors. But i heard on another topic that they vary depending on what system your a fanboy for. Nintendo = red, Sony = blue, Microsoft = green, and neutral = white.

I'm still not positive though, but i think its the fanboy one.

Oh geeze I just found the answer. I need to look around a little bit more before posting. The colors represent what your console preference is. That'll make it easier to spot the stupid console war threads.

I think those represent which kind of fanboy you are. Your given a choice when creating your account.

"When you signed up you picked whether you were a Nintendo (Red), Microsoft (Green), Sony (Blue), PC (White), or Neutral (Grey) fanboy."

Yeah, but what's the use? Our nicknames here in these replies are all white. All we get to see is the topic founder's nickname color.

Or am I crazy?

I felt so retarded for not knowing what the colors meant for my first two days on the site.

They refer to which system the user is a 'fanboy' of. Green for Microsoft, Blue for Sony, Red for Nintendo, White for PC and Grey for Neutral.
