What's your internet fame level?

[Dango]

0.

Except for on this website, no one really knows who I am.

 

[Strain42]

I've created two very successful webcomic series that have each gotten millions of views in total, and still get thousands of views every day.

I also created a third, slightly less successful series lol

I was also one of the lead animators of Phoenix Wrong: The Movie and Turnabout: Sequel (if it ever freakin' goes up...)

 

[dorkette1990]

I'm a little known - in between being an artist and having some... shall we say racy(ish) pictures, I've seen my name and work crop up in some unexpected places.

 

[Duruznik]

Well, I have a few subscribers on DeviantArt (including a rather well-known webcartoonist) and several hundred views a piece on my drawings there. I also am a regular contributor to a minecraft texturepack with over 300,000 downloads and help organise it, too.

I also used to moderate a forum with hundreds of active users, though I quit a while back.

 

[Hippobatman]

Pretty much unknown. I'm an officer in a small guild in WoW, and that's about it.

Planning to start a podcast soon, though, maybe that will help. I dunno, it's not really that important to me.

 

[Guffe]

zero, nill, nolla, noll
nothing

 

[Palademon]

I got made a mod of an internet chat that used to have over 1000 people at once, now it's lucky to get 1.

And I've got 6 subscribers on Youtube with NO VIDEOES.
FUCK YEAH!
However a crap 5 minute video I was only in for half of has about 600 views...

 

[AnotherAvatar]

Well, lets see.. I had an article website when I was in high school and right now I'm making music and mixes which is getting attention though I'm sort of keeping it low key while I'm in school. I'd have to say the most e-attention I've gotten would be from when I was writing for this shitty e-magazine and broke the story of this local Dubstep crew that was putting on wild shows. It got a good number of hits and oddly more both satisfying and enraging the Westword printed almost the exact same story (but lacking my style) a month later.

Jokes on me though as that shitty mag I ended up quiting shortly after the story is now shut down, so there's no record of my story except on my hard drive, only the Westword article exists in the eyes of history. Oh well, still good to know I was in the right spot at the right time.

 

[Techno Squidgy]

I was so famous that it created a singularity erasing the very act that made me famous from the time stream so no-one knows about it other than myself.

I'm just fucking with you, I have no internet fame not particularly sure I want it either, the interwebs is full of pricks.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Next to nothing. I have three videos on YouTube, they've been there for 3 months, none of them have more than 18 views.

 

[lRookiel]

Only on here do a few people know me, so yeah, non existant and Im quite happy with that ^^

I'd probably be more famous if all my accounts would stop getting banned by uptight moderators on every site I visit.

Perhaps stick to the rules then? ^^

Oooo can I get a link please? I love a good webcomic series ^^

 

[Ieyke]

I'm famous among Space Marine players (meaning the Warhammer 40,000 players, not necessarily the video game ones) who traffic The Bolter &Chainsword and related forums.
I'm easily one of the most frequently sigged and quoted posters. I have one of the highest post counts. My username has become a commonly understood acronym. I'm seen as one of the primary authorities on the Warhammer 40,000 fluff and new players and odd questions are frequently directed to me. I also instigated a biannual (or sometimes more frequent) games day in the UK that I can't attend.....since I'm in Texas.

Several of my comments on G4TV.com have been quoted on TV.
I once had a discussion with Neal Tiles, President of G4, and talked him into changing the daytime programming for an entire summer (it was the summer they showed classic G4 shows instead of Cops and Cheaters).

Following the ninja vs spartan episode of Deadliest Warrior, I had a week long discussion with Max Geiger and Jeff Desmoulin about how completely useless their ninja "experts" we're. (as a Ninjutsu practitioner myself, I found it painfully dumb and, on behalf of the martial art and my associates, I had a bone to pick with them....) They actually apologized, promised to check out future "experts" more carefully, and said they would try and revisit ninjas to correct some of the errors at some point.


I guess that's the extent of my Internet fame.

 

[Kross]

Hmm, way back when I was first playing with my own servers, I ran into some issues with wanting Debian instead of Redhat on my machine. After a few weeks of testing things in virtual machines and taking many notes, I wrote out a way to remotely switch operating systems [http://www.underhanded.org/papers/debian-conversion/remotedeb.html]. It still shows as a top result on Google when I search for "remote linux install" and such... although some of the utilities are a bit outdated at this point. :/ Making something random linux people on the Internet have found useful for so long has always been a point of pride.

I was fairly heavily involved with the Trillian [http://www.trillian.im/] community when it was first getting off the ground, and had many fun forum adventures as a moderator [http://forums.ceruleanstudios.com/member.php?u=688] there.

And around the same time, was also active [http://www.turnengine.com/forums/member.php?3-Azhrarn] in a browser strategy game [http://www.darkgalaxy.com/] - that's being resurrected in recent times by @FrostyCoolSlug

Oh, and I do server thingys for some other website at work now.

Edit: Oh yeah, I was also a pretty amazing [http://underhanded.org/screenies/games/wow/healbot.jpg] Resto(60)/Enhancement(70) Shaman in WoW. I don't play currently, but my old guild [http://www.wowprogress.com/guild/us/mug-thol/Shadow+Syndicate] is still holding their own.

Ok, but advanced warning. It's a parody walkthrough series of Persona 3 and Persona 4, so you might not enjoy it if you haven't played them. Hope you enjoy it.

Crap, I'm afraid I lack the prerequisites ^^

 

[StBishop]

Ahh, an e-peen competition.

For 99.99% of us, our 'fame' is nonexistent and our presence irrelevant. Anyone thinking otherwise is seriously deluding themselves.

A viral Youtube video is not fame, much in the same manner that a man running naked on the street is not famous: Everyone will have forgotten about them in a few days.

You need to have a series of viral youtube videos, at the very least, to get any of that.

Mine? Nonexistent, just as yours.

This is exactly as stupid as those radio shows about "how are you related to a celebrity?" or "what is my subscriber amount?" - if you have to ask yourself that, then you're not famous, you're not a celebrity.

Antwon Dobson disagrees.

I'm anonymous. I don't really care.
I've interacted with semi-recognisable people and had comments read in about 2 podcasts but I'm of no note on the Internet.

I've never even uploaded a video to youtube.

 

[Liberaliter]

I was a author on a website that has since removed all the articles from the site. In terms of user comments, I wrote the most successful article on the site, clocking in at 190 comments.

Other than that, no.

Can I ask what the article was about?

You may.

...

Oh, you wanted an answer?

It was about the Brony sub-culture and I went into a long diatribe against it.

In that case I can understand the amount of comments it recieved

 

[Vhite]

I do not exist. You won't find a single person on web that would know me.

But SOON...?

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

You'd really have to be the one to tell me. The Escapist is the only site i'm fairly regular at and on youtube i've got 2 videos up (videos i don't even care about myself).

Other than that i'm really more of a wandering spirit. You can see me here and there on occasion, but i usually don't stay for long and most of the time i just try to scoot by un-noticed.
