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.

A tour operator contacted Parks Victoria early on Friday and reported the small stack had disappeared.

Parks Victoria spokeswoman Jo Curkpatrick later confirmed the collapse.

"It's a small stack just out from the ... Razorback Lookout," she said.

"We have had some fairly stormy weather but it's sort of natural that the stone wears away."

The lookout is located near Loch Ard Gorge and Port Campbell.

Friday's collapse follows the crumbling of another rock formation, the Island Archway, which fell into the sea on June 11.

"Certainly the coast has taken a bit of a beating this winter," Ms Curkpatrick said.

Although another stack had disappeared, she said the formations would still retain their name.

"It will always be the Twelve Apostles," Ms Curkpatrick said.

"It remains unique no matter how many apostles come and go."
