The first thing that came to mind for somebody gaining fame by boards is Drew Curtis. Fark is kinda like a small message board.

highthief, have you ever read the Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card? Ender's brother and sister use internet forums as voices on the world stage in the first book. In addition, OSC is one of my favorite authors because of the believability of his future earth scenarios... almost all of his books are recommended reads.
