Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Is this a joke? If not has the wife found out through the virtual detective if her avatar husband has fathered a virtual child with a virtual prostitute? I think both need alot of counsiling and they also need to get a life and get off the computer.

    I agree, Kathy--they need REAL lives...or should have solved this with a virtual divorce, with a virtual judge and she could sue for virtual alimony.

      1st of all he rl wife met her rl husband on  the internet....get over it already .. I LOVE HOW POEPLE TRY TO BLAME EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING FOR THEIR MARRIAGE FAILING BUT THEM NEVER TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO TRY AND FIX IT..LOL  I play secondlife for 2 years now I think it's a load of garbage what people say that SL ruined my life... the fact is you RL is already missing something if u look for love online. SL is no diff then yahoo and or msn or other chatrooms platforms only that they are more interactive. Its normal for people that do not play sl to say that stuff they say about it and such comments about SL. SL is not just for sex there are loads of other things to be involved with in SL it's complete trash. This wife has only been with this man for 3 years so she has to have known that SL was part of his life so maybe she should have tired to talk ot him and if he didn't change and she caught him well leave then. Maybe she her self is not giving him what he is missing in life that he finds it from someone else fat thing musty or not. Its the person themself that needs to take it to fix what is wrong with their rl and if sl makes them happy so be it.
