| Using Admin for the name. Carrying on from Get Shorty's Email address username thing, I hate it when Administrators use "Admin" for there forum name, just doesnt look good IMO.

| I definitely don't really like it when the admins username is admin, it's so impersonal. I like to see when admins use their first names as their username because it gives it that personal community feel.

Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 10,246 Location: Athens, GA | First names tend to be best in most circumstances...but not everybody wants to use their name in forums, which is understandable...so I think it's also ok for an admin to go by some nickname...but don't ever use "Admin". It is definitely very impersonal and will create a larger divide between you and your members.

| I completely agree. Using 'admin' as your username is horrible. | ||||
