I too mainly use different passwords for sites with different administrators. For e-mail, banking, secure stuff etc. I all use different, longer passwords.
For forums, IRC and other databases where the admins can probably see my plain text pass and possibly mess around with it and act cool with his/her fellow 13 year olds, I use a simple, easy-to-remember pass based on some "site-related" criteria -- eg. parent's anniversary + last letter of domain name (slashdoT.org) + first letter of domain name (Slashdot.org) + last letter of of domain's TLD (slashdot.orG). It's easy to remember for me, it confuses the forum newbie and it makes it hard for the newbie to use the password for anything.
