Online Writing Workshop
In addition to this, a few former editors from Del Ray books created Online Wrtiting Workshop several years ago.
It's a website writing community as well, almost like a creative writing workshop class all done online. There's slim to no chance of getting noticed on there as well. I think the highlight is once a month or so, the pro editors there select a work and give you a pretty good rundown/review.
Several alumn have gone on to publish there. I think the most known of all of them was Elizabeth Bear
onlinewritingworkshop dot com.
It costs money though...around 50 USd/yr. The highlight is most of the people in the community give pretty good crits/line nits/suggestions for improvement.
FWIW, I think the closest thing to going "mainstream" on teh interwebs right now is LuLu or BookSurge BS that Amazon owns for self publishing
