Sitemeter meets the Sims

Here's a strange, cool idea: visualizing your site's stats through MMOG-style game graphics.  VisitorVille apparently offers a series of The Sims-like visualization tools to check site traffic - buses are search engines, pedestrians are individual visitors, and so on.

I await someone using this to make machinima.  A Bollywood-ish dance version, maybe?  Or a Matrix-style murder mystery.

My first reaction to that screenshot was "cool. web stats rendered as The Matrix' Burly Brawl scene!" - maybe spammers could be the bodies af Agent Smith that are flung out of the crowd?

Indeed, the possibilities are huge. What about body types, genders, clothing, races?
When can we skin the world type - World of Warcraft-style fantasy, cyberpunk, 18th-century, sports?

Think of the hacking possibilities, too.
