What's this?

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.

I guess. I figured the high prices would drive them away. Also the fact that they can only cook breakfast. Everything else they try to cook tastes like crap.

My local IHOP has never done anything like that so I would consider it an isolated incident.

The IHOP in Lakewood, Ohio is disgusting.

Considering they are usually open 24 hours, and a lot of their late night clientele are drunk college students, I can understand how the old "chew and screw" might be a problem.

If you're going somewhere to eat with the specific intention of not paying for your meal than why in the @!$%# would you choose IHOP? Why not steal good food?

A few years ago, at my first college in Indiana, I worked at a Borders, and on my lunch breaks, I'd go to IHOP sometimes. They had this one super amazing fiesta something salad with guacamole and sour cream...for some reason I was addicted to it. Not to mention since it was 24/7, I'd go there late with friends to study or just bull@!$%#.

Why IHOP? Well, when you're 18 in the @!$%#ty city known as Fort Wayne, you get bored real quick. In late 2001 they did not have any fun for you if you were under 21.
