I was about to comment and say...NOT A-BLOODY-NOTHER ONE...

But hey - it's pretty damn good!

Same thought here. And, yes, it's actually good. But it's probably too much for such a small community.

I think it's just what the community needs. Not at all too much. It's like th.org but better presented. Much more potential.

There's little reason to believe Transcurve emulates the style and function of any other H+ communities online for the simple sake of it, although I can see how this could be the assumption. A lot of individuals seem to like being responsible for forming communities and mediating topics according to their particular dictum. Transcurve recognizes that the H+ community already exists, however, and is only eager to provide transhumanists with additional tools and flexibility with which to exchange ideas. In our opinion, the more succinct the sources of information and discussion pertinent to H+ and Singularity-related material, the better (provided, of course, every effort is made to facilitate the information to exacting standards). The premise is to bind together transhumanists with the kind of fluidity and flexibility provided by the Web's most current tools. In our mind, the adoption of emerging web phenomena to facilitate H+ discourse is a tenet of the totalized philosophical system of transhumanism as a whole, and will continue to be so. Regardless of the size of the community (it's only just begun!), every effort has been made to cater for no upper-limit of contributing members, and rather than providing tools that reflect demand, the practical optimism of H+ suggested to us that we provide as many tools as possible to begin with, and allow individuals to trickle-in as they feel compelled, knowing confidently that if they are looking to actively engage in the H+ community, everything at Transcurve is at their disposal. Nourishing information is with us wherever we go, and transhumanists are critically digesting it and merging the emergent, wherever it shows itself. This momentum is very promising. The more ways we can flexibly consolidate the cloud and relate our ideas with synthesis, the better. The nature of Transcurve is malleable and changes with the type of use most prevalent. In this way users' behavior affects site architecture in real-time facilitating a recursively self-improving applicability. I implore all frequenters of OnSinglarity to drop in, become one, and relate your ideas of transhumanity to others in the here and now, to accelerate returns and embrace the physical, psychological, intellectual and spiritual transformations we are making together.

See you there,
Anders.
