Site - Why in some trades (on the trade list) the username is blue and in other trades is gold?

Hi

Why in some trades (on the trade list) the username is blue and in other trades is gold?

Example:
My own trades, stash "WTS (Bases)"

Looking through your trades and wagering an educated guess:

You donated to the site roughly 7 months ago. (Thanks for that btw <3)

Donating changes your name to the purple it is now as compared to the gold you had prior. I'd assume that trades don't live-check your name color/status but keep whatever was applicable when they were created. That'd explain why you don't have any "gold trades" younger than 7 months and no "purple trades" older than 7 months. You do have both, purple and gold in the "7 month" frame though so I'd assume you donated in that 7th month, between those two trades.

@Teebling care to comment/confirm my guess?

Correct!
