I tend to agree because I personally do like a monotone look but at some point it's just boring. And if you don't like this change you are really not going to like what's coming. No sparkles though, I promise I'll never do that.
And I just disabled the online list for the site. So that's not a visual problem anymore.
They all do have the same font-size. Only differences might be shadows or bold effects.
Do I sense custom colors for crews or bytes for username colors?

Not to sound blunt or like an ass, but do you think the color changes will really affect your sales that much?

The blue is a bit harsh on my eyes, not sure if that's just me?

i dont care about sales. Its human psychology, the smallest of factors have a massive impact on usability.

I get that it's different and I get that change takes time to adjust to, I'm not particularly worried about that. I also understand that this ultimately won't really detract from or add to my experience here. I just have opinions on the implementation of this idea, but it really just comes down to what your taste is I suppose.
If you want to hear other's opinions on colors, here's mine. If you're already set, no worries:

True, but I've seen more positive reactions to the change then negative ones so far.

Nope.
Members need to keep in mind that no one stares at HF more than I do. So if it really is annoying, I'll be annoyed and undo it.

So let's do a 2 year study on the changes of HF colors and the effects and you can publish a thesis.

awesome! love the new colors
RE: Colored Usernames - Kill Joy - Mar 13, 2019
I like the color changes. Will miss the people online portion but won’t even remember it in a couple days just like the star ratings.
RE: Colored Usernames - dredos - Mar 13, 2019
In my honest opinion it a bit too much. It's messy and I don't know where to look first.
