I'm not really "famous", but I am "known". I use the same user name in any forums or web site that I'm on (though it's usually Stammer6, not Stammer). I've had people PM me after I've joined some forums saying "Hey is this the same Stammer6 from [website]?" and I'll be like "A-yup".
I'm also usually a pretty heavy forum poster. The Escapist forums are the only forums I'm -not- a really major poster on. But back in the day when I used to be excited for Final Fantasy XIV (I never bought the game after having played the horrible beta) I was literally the 7th or 8th person to join the site so I knew everyone.

Two things, mainly.
The first was that I was a reviewer for a website that reviewed games specifically for the purpose of informing parents of the game's offensive content so they could make a more informed decision. But then the owner of the website got a bit anti-game and we split off and joined another site.
The more recent thing is for my blog, Binary Narrative, which I'm pretty sure about 5 people read (mods, I don't mean to advertise, but if other people are linking to their answers, so can I). It focuses on video games specifically from a literary perspective as an interactive storytelling art form. The last couple weeks have been taken over by my last semester school starting up again, so I haven't gotten the main articles out for the last couple weeks, but I try to have an article out every Saturday and a smaller, more "random musings" style posting on Wednesdays (which I have managed to keep up).
Unfortunately, despite having a Facebook page and telling friends and such, I don't think I have many readers. I got especially discouraged lately when I noticed a recent article about DLC's role in storytelling got over 300 views, then noticed it was only from people googling the rage face, which I used in the article. That was annoying.
I also wrote and directed a short machinima viewable on Youtube called Pretium Vita. Did it for a film festival at my university, and I think it turned out pretty well. If anyone happens to read this and watch it, let me know what you think.

I'm not famous, but at lest I'm not famous like this guy is.

Yeahhh, I'm glad I'm not him.
I was kind of famous on Silkroad Online. I almost owned the strongest guild on the Caspian Server

If we're going by percentage of your target demographic who knows of you, I've co-founded a transsexual support group online that has effected thousands of transsexuals. Which makes up a rather large percentage of the relatively small transsexual community.
I've also got some real life fame in my town, I co-founded our first GSA, and LGBT support groups, as well as played a pivotal role in it's first pride parade. Made it into the local and semi-local papers a few times, and made it on provincial TV once (maybe twice once was an interview, the other was coverage of our LGBT support group) Most of this was a big deal because my town/area is a backwards little Christian affair, EXTREMELY conservative.
Also, among my closer friends online, I am known as a "PSW" a Professional Saucy Wench (Not a Professional Sex Worker... I could never charge *grin*), a title many know, and I wear proudly.
Do I win yet?

Well apart from being generally awesome and a shining example of humanity (some might say "godly" I, however am too modest to admit that.)
I also have several Youtube videos, one of which has over a thousand views (I know, I know, but try not to let that number blow your mere mortal mind.)
Here's a link to one, that only has I think less than 100. It's also the only one I'm not ashamed to show:

Bit of background on that, it was a school project, and due to having a major surgery I no longer look or sound quite the same as in that video (Thankfully, my looks and voice underwent an improvement after the surgery, so yay for that.)

I think you are right. Real world fame beat online.
Most my fame comes from Star Wars Galaxies. I wrote most the Armorsmith FAQ's on the official site, was the official player rep for Munitions crafting for a bit and was spotlighted by the developers though the actual interview is no longer on the site I think. If I search LeviticusD on google I'll see my faq's posted here and there, but the world has moved on from that train wreck.
Occasionally in a different MMO, I'll get a tell asking if I am that LeviticusD (or "uncle Lizzy" as I was knkown as as well) but that's the end of my fame.

Dont know if it counts but my photobucket account(sansamour117) has around 185000 veiws.
I make anime themed GIFs that end up all over the internetz.

Go and google "The Chips Maneuver." It may not be the first on the list. Look for an entry with "Kobayashi Maru Vol. 21" The Chips Maneuver (obviously be the poster Mr. Chips) should be on page 4. It's a bit long, but read it and you might get a laugh.
There's a hard to find website out there made of a bunch of Star Trek fans. One of them copy pasta'd the Chips Maneuver and they had a great time laughing it up.

I do reviews that no-one reads.
SOON TO CHANGE!
Calumon: I say things that come to my head and some people think it's cute. :S

Well, somehow my adventure time video has 10,000 views. That isn't fame though.

Oh err, I also got the first comment on the last Old Spice video saying goodbye when they were pumping out questions awhile ago.
