Default Ever had fame come to you from something on the net?

Ok I'm just wondering, has anyone ever been achknowledged in real life for something they have done on the internet? Like let's use Arch0wl for example, everyone who plays Stepmania, DWI, FFR, knows who he is right? If you were lets say in laserquest (only thing I can think of) and it says on the back of your gun, you were shot by "Arch0wl" would you wonder if it was THE Arch0wl and want to meet him? Well anyway, that's an example, so has anyone been achknowleged for being known on the internet?

(In case you're wondering I haven't)

i made a picture of the teacher with a mustache in 8th grade and i set it as the backround, and put the tv on and put the image on the computer onto the t.v. (using one of those things. tvaitor, i believe?) and i put the tv on in the middle of class. that was pretty funny, and i got some kudos for that.

Well, I change names so frequently, and I haven't done anything good enough to even be acknowledged, so no.

Sadly, most people have not come to their senses about the speldor that is me...

Although many people recogize me in the FFR chat and such.

Back when i was in 8th grade, i convinced everybody I hacked the whitehouse. All i did was switch to dos mode and typed in MSDOSSHell and it brought up a menu. I was pretty popular for about a week, untill a principal called me in :sour:

Heh. There's only a handful of people in this world who actually call me by my real name, basically family and co-workers. Everyone else I know calls me Kwik. People hear of me from the tri-state (OH, MI, IN) DDR circuit and sometimes actually recognize my forum name. That and I have good standing on Sony's GAP.

No, not really. Everyone in San Antonio goes to DDRSA.

Now, if I went to California, people might know who I am. But everyone in Texas just knows me as the DDRSA Arch.

Closest thing I have is that I wrote the Class Guide to Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis that is up at GameFAQs. I've told a few people that have come into work and they are all, "No way! I read that. Nice to meet you." And that's about it.

So I've had my 15 minutes. Like I give a rat's behind.
