What is your biggest achievement in terms of Internet fame?

[alkemyst]

I know a guy that kept getting 'Fly Cheap' spam from some company. They asked to be removed via a phone call as these messages came once every couple hours and were coming from multiple domains, with multiple titles...it was being sent to all their users.

anyway I don't know all the details of what lead to the end...but in the end it was found that the fly cheap guy was running a default apache/linux box with no security. The admin got in and proceeded to change all his files to things like 'This file flew cheap with "FLYCHEAP.COM" (not the real name), This file is in Hawaii thanks to FLYCHEAP.COM, This file loves SPAM, etc.

He was able to delete other files off networked machines.

It was a couple months before the domain came back online and he never got another spam again.

He replied to me back in 2001 or so. Haven't personally heard from him since.

That I don't have any.

I've kept my real identity completely hidden, completely safe. I'm very happy with that.

Edit: My various aliases do, however.

Not fame but infamy. Made The Register for something stupid I did.

Posted a lot of technical and game help/tips on Computer Gaming World and was going back and forth with the black dude (can't remember his name ) hardware editor about writing for them. He ended up going to ExtremeTech before it went anywhere though.

Diablo II days.

I STILL don't know exactly why I suddenly became the "wow, it's you" on battle.net. It was shortly after I hit level 99 with an amazon, but at that time, there were already 2 server resets and 100 other level 99s out there. During the course of 1 or 2 days, random people started PMing me with "wow, it's really you!", "you're so cool" or something along those lines.

I have the vague suspicion that it was negative popularity though...

My shower is in the background of a motovational poster which makes it rounds on 4chan. And my toilet too (not so much this one).
