LOOKING FOR RIDE 10-1-2016

[kelis678]

I noticed that study volunteers always post and create threads about needing a ride. Do anyone really reply back and offer that kind gesture. I have repeatedly made post in reference to study volunteers about rides and ride shares. This community is real and I think it is terrible the way we do one another when we work doing the same thing. This is not just getting a check it is about the contribution to science the learning, the exposure to let people know what it is we do. We are changing the way science is being evolved and creating awareness of how important your health is your life. WAKE UP PEOPLE ! LOOKING FOR A RIDE  you can email me @[e-mail] The date is 10-1-2016 this Saturday morning.

I can't say for certain if anyone replies or not, but we have far more "guests" who either dont have an account, or dont log in, than members. For example, right now at the bottom of the main page it says 6 members and 200 guests in the last 24 hours. Apparently most people only read and dont contribute anything. By definition, they are "parasites". If they cant be bothered to share any knowledge and only want to take, it makes sense that they dont want to give anyone a ride(even someone who followed Mike's request for a bikini photo lol).

I've tried to encourage more of the "lurkers" to register and post, but even some of the members tell me it isnt worth asking.  Apparently many think the majority of labrats are selfish, and maybe they're right.  

About the ride thing, it might help if you listed the date you were going, where to and from, like you did in the past.  Maybe let them know if you're willing to chip in for gas or whatever too.  I wish you the best of luck.
