How about you put something down at the bottom of the page where it shows who's online that tells people what all the colored usernames mean. I get you're still playing with colors and such but , yeah, get on that and don't listen to unintelligible-ble-ble, the colors are a good idea. Much less tacky than what we had.

Color Coded

You mean like a legend, right? Good suggestion. I was going to suggest this before with the debut of all these different colors that entail different things and meanings.

All the colored usernames have descriptions below that that also match the color. e.g. TU's posts say Moderator in the color of his username. Mine say Administrator in my shade of red. People in multiple groups (e.g. both a Donator and a Moderator) will have both displayed, each in their respective colors (yellow and cyan).
The only color that doesn't have this is purple, and - at least until custom username colors become sold for LGG - all people with purple usernames also have matching purple custom user titles (which display in a slightly different place, but are still bold and purple).
Do you think it needs a legend even though every user with a custom color will have a colored description in their postbit telling what the color means? I can add a legend. I think the colors are set in stone now. I just don't know where I'd put it, and it'd only show in the LG theme.

It's helpful from the overview of who's online on the main page to have the legend. While in a topic and once you are familiar with who is who, it's not really necessary but for new users later on and everyone while they are getting used to the update it could be helpful.
Just stick it above or below the who is online.

I'll see if the users online part is editable and do that if it is.

Implemented. Feel free to leave feedback before I move this to Accepted/locked.
