| Definatly use my real name, Although i have to say i do have the user Administrator that i sometime use to make a massive announcement, if your personal with your board you will get the odd one or two that will loose respect, so when a 'Administrator' Steps in  to have a word they then re look at the situation.

| I always use my real name because I think it makes the forum seem friendlier and that the posters are real people and they make the community closer. My least favourite thing is to call the admin "admin", nicknames are better but still not as personal. | ||||

|  But you have to have a strick ruling, and if you become friendly with a certain User then he/she break the rules its the worst situation to be in, No -one likes Dictating to their friends, so i Use the Administrator user to keep as a backup to make sure they know where the line is and just because they are my friend, doesn't mean they can Start to Mess around with the Board or skip Rules.
