Create a file in your clientscript folder called rainbow.js (would also make the BB-code replacement text simpler):

function MakeArray(n){
  this.length=n;
  for(var i=1; i<=n; i++) this[i]=i-1;
  return this
}

hex=new MakeArray(16);
hex[11]="A"; hex[12]="B"; hex[13]="C"; hex[14]="D";
hex[15]="E"; hex[16]="F";

function ToHex(x){   // Changes a int to hex (in the range 0 to 255)
  var high=x/16;
  var s=high+"";        //1
  s=s.substring(0,2);   //2 the combination of these = trunc funct.
  high=parseInt(s,10);  //3
  var left=hex[high+1]; // left part of the hex-value
  var low=x-high*16;    // calculate the rest of the values
  s=low+"";             //1
  s=s.substring(0,2);   //2 the combination of these = trunc funct.
  low=parseInt(s,10);   //3
  var right=hex[low+1]; // right part of the hex-value
  var string=left+""+right; // add the high and low together
  return string;
}

function fadeout(text){
  text=text.substring(4,text.length);
                         // gets rid of the HTML-comment-tags
  color_d1=255;          // any value in 'begin' 0 to 255
  mul=color_d1/text.length;
  var j=1;
for(i=0;i<text.length;i++){
   color_d1=255*Math.sin(i/(text.length/3));
   // some other things you can try>>
   // "=255-mul*i" to fade out, "=mul*i" to fade in,
   // or try "255*Math.sin(i/(text.length/3))"
   color_h1=ToHex(color_d1);
   color_d2=mul*i;
   color_h2=ToHex(color_d2);
   color_d3=mul*(text.length-i);
   color_h3=ToHex(color_d3);

      j = i;

  if (text.substring(i,i+1) == '&')
  {
        for (j = i+1; j < text.length; j++)
        {
               if (text.substring(j,j+1) == ';') { break; }
        }
        if (j == text.length) { j = i; }
  }

  if (text.substring(i,i+1) == '<')
  {
        for (j = i+1; j < text.length; j++)
        {
               if (text.substring(j,j+1) == '>') { break; }
        }
        if (j == text.length) { j = i; }
  }

   document.write('<span style="color:#'+color_h3+color_h1+color_h2+'">'+
                  text.substring(i,j+1)+'</span>');
         i = j;
 }
}

Add the following to your headinclude template:

<script type="text/javascript" src="$vboptions[bburl]/clientscript/rainbow.js"></script>

Then for your Usergroup Markup -
Opening tag:

<script type="text/javascript">fadeout("//-->

Closing tag:

");</script>

Note that the javascript code is NOT surrounded by HTML comment tags. While not W3C, if you add the comment tags, the usernames of this group will seem to disappear.
