I use my first name. If I made the forum or I joined the forum for the purpose of becoming a staff member I'd use my first name. This is just what I prefer. As said before, I feel it gives a more personal feel and makes it seem like I'm an actual personal.

However, some forums I'll join just because I'm interested. In these forums I'll usually use a username. If I happen to become a staff member, I won't go out of my (and the admin's) way to change it. I usually post my first name in my sig so people refer to me by my first name anyway.

I would never use admin or something like that. It just seems like there's no thought put into it, it's not personal at all, and makes it seems like I'm bragging that I'm admin that I have to throw it out there in big letters.
