Perfection
The Great Head.
<----- 
Names with originality (eg not merely Civ-something if it's a Civ forum), names that are properly spaced/capitalised, names that is not a variation of "Dom", names that is not merely a random jumble of letters, names not containing numbers or non-alphabetical characters (with exceptions)

Names that make you laugh! The weirder the better.
I remember someone with the username midget gems. This was a game forum and he liked using dwarf, gnome type characters.
I don't like my username that much but I chose it because I used to use the name cartago on another forum and so when I joined this I thought of nova cartago. On the other forum people called me cart a lot so I just shortened this one to cart but spelled it with a k.

Perfection. iOnlySignIn. Phone numbers as usernames.
asdñlk123098qwepoiasdñlkq <- I use this type of username or passwords because they are easy to remember for me. Is funny because I can't remember a single phone number.

Yeah. I doubt that sort of password is very secure, though.
It looks very like you're basing that on your keyboard arrangement. Crackers would love you for it.
Doesn't matter for a gaming forum, of course, but I wouldn't do that for an internet banking password.
Not that any criminal could profit vastly from my bank account.

I like names that don't contain a ton of numbers and unnecessary capitalization on forums.
In regards to online games, names like mine are what I like to see. It's become slightly annoying to see a mish-mash of numbers and random characters in video games such as League of Legends or Runes of Magic. Role play, dudes!

There are many 1234 passwords, a friend entered in more than 5 WoW accounts with that password. Fortunately he didnt stole anything.

I thought mine was clever, until I grew older and saw it as a little bit of a cringe worthy moment during my career as a forum goer. I still keep it though.
Good user names to me are the ones that are very creative, and can make me learn something about the person based just on their user name.

salty mud, have you ever tasted salty mud?
on another forum, there is a guy called “Norm sized Midget”. it cracks me up a lot.
reminds of the anal probe in South Park.
having numbers as part of the name is OK if they have special meanings and easy to understand. it just feels annoying when they are of a random jumble.
as for me, 77 means a pair of wings, which is echoing “Pegasus”.

I've always thought Alcibiades of Athenae had a good username. 2400 years old perhaps, but it has a nice ring to it and lends itself to a convenient abbreviation (AoA).
Other good usernames at CFC include Thunderfall, because it sounds awesome and powerful, Chieftess, which works well for the game especially now that she's a moderator, and Boundless, which is nice and optimistic.
So in general I like ones that are short, easy to remember, and have some other positive quality. But a really good long one can also be just as good.
It is pretty hard to improve upon Perfection as a username.
I'll give you some points in this competition, because the time that you were on the Around the World in 80 Days voyage and had to convince the post office to let you pick up a package addressed to madviking was pretty hilarious. It would've been amusing with a fair amount of user names, but your username being madviking definitely made it better.

No idea really. I don't remember user names very well.
I think numbers distract a little bit from forming an "identity" behind the name. IDs that are more or less a joke will give a chuckle but they won't let the person build more of an identity around it (actually, I always loved the user on cfc Che Guava, the juicy revolutionary).
I'd either be in favor of constantly changing names or choosing 1 name and trying to stick to that for a very long time.
That all said, tangentially related is n.Die_[username], because n.Die was the greatest prefix for an online clan (for gaming ID's). Really, I should make my ID around places n.Die)Kennigit or n.Die_Kennigit, just for the throwback and nostalgia

Chieftess is now an admin.
To me, "AoA" will always mean "Award of Arms" which, in SCA terms means the recipient is entitled to display their own heraldic device and be addressed as "Lord" or "Lady." So in formal SCA situations, I'm entitled to be referred to as "Lady Freydis." I've never used "Freydis" as a username, but I'm sure lots of SCA-folk probably use their persona names online.
True story told to me by a friend in our Shire (in Red Deer): She had to send a package to someone in the Calgary SCA group, on the Greyhound. When he went to pick it up, the conversation went something like this:
Hi, I'm here to pick up a package for Bill Foster.
(checks) Sorry, there's nothing here for that name.
(thinks a moment; maybe she's forgotten my mundane name) Is there anything addressed to "Mynford Vygghelm"? (checks again) Um... no.
(mutters aloud) Ohmygod, no, she wouldn't have... 
Sure enough, the package was there... addressed to his older persona's name: "Chang the Suitably Obnoxious!"
So be aware that your username (or SCA persona) may end up in the postal system or on some other delivery label, and choose wisely.
