How are these generated?

- hysan 13y agoI'm guessing these are all comments made by accounts created within the last 24 hours.
- jw2013 13y agoNo. Just took a random look at a couple of them, and one of the poster registered 5 days ago. I am guessing maybe 7 days?

- Springtime 13y agoHad a laugh at the addon concept. I think I'd prefer it as a userscript though, considering it's novelty use.
- djent 13y agoAll the comments are by green-colored-username users. I've never understood what the green usernames meant, but I guess it's a sign of noobs.

- jpalomaki 13y agoFor quite long time I thought the green was used to indicate a special person, someone related to Y combinator or one of the startups (I think back then it was not so common to see comments from "green" users).
- serge2k 13y agoI always thought green meant the poster.
