Abstract: The ON-LINE community, known as the family of invisible friends, is made up of members who interact mainly through the Internet using social networking sites, chat rooms, forums, e-mail, networking, etc. The members of this community can be grouped in the following categories - users, moderators and administrators of the facilities offered by the virtual environment.
