I had the idea almost seven years ago.

In the depths of an existential crisis, consumed with absorbing everything I could about transhumanism, and working for an internet start-up (before the first bubble burst), I decided to create an outlet and destination for forward-thinking ideas and information.

What to call it?

Well, we were talking about human improvement, right? In all its forms?

So what better name could I choose than Betterhumans?

Straightforward, perhaps.

And purposefully provocative.

For nearly seven years, in various forms, I've overseen my baby's growth.

But lately I've been a very neglectful parent.

And so, to help my baby grow into adulthood, I have found an adoptive parent.

Someone with as much passion for the site as I had at its height -- someone with more time, resources and connections to facilitate its further growth.

But before I go on, you need some background.

Because it's hard for me to believe that this day has come.

After all, when I started the site, I knew almost nothing about creating websites and web content.

To build the first version of Betterhumans, I learned HTML.

To build the second, I learned how to program and build rudimentary databases.

By the third version, I had built a complete content-management system from scratch, all the while managing constantly evolving hosting arrangements as our traffic grew.

(Today, the site users third-party software; I realized long ago that my core competencies don't include web development.)

And man, how it grew.

We published news articles, columns and reports that attracted hundreds of thousands of unique visitors.

We earned media attention from around the world for what used to be outrageous ideas (but now appear on episodes of 60 Minutes).

I actually worked on Betterhumans full time for nearly two years of my life, sacrificing many opportunities (and, to be honest, relationships) in the process, despite the fact that the site generated barely enough revenue to support its own existence.

But there was consolation.

Such as the opportunity to meet and make many new and brilliant friends, including my now good friend and Betterhumans collaborator George Dvorsky, without whom the site might honestly never have survived.

And now, it's time to move on.

While I'm still interested and intrigued by transhumanism and forward-thinking ideas, my current passions don't include building a transhumanist-themed website.

The site has subsequently languished.

So I reached out to someone I thought would be interested.

Someone whose passion shows through involvement in far too many cutting-edge organizations to list here.

His name is James Clement.

Some of you may know him as the new Executive Director of the World Transhumanist Association.

Others may know him from his work as COO of the Maximum Life Foundation, or as President of the InnerSpace Foundation.

Wherever you know him from, you know his passion and drive.

And you'll know that he's exactly the right person to reinvigorate Betterhumans.

So, where to from here?

Well, we're helping James get ramped up.

And he's already started posting content and inviting eminent new bloggers aboard.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be helping James migrate Betterhumans to new servers, as well as helping him launch a new version of the site with even more features.

As for me?

I have many other projects on the go.

But I'll be here, the proud parent, as Betterhumans grows up and matures away from home.

To everyone who has come along for the ride...

Thanks for your undying support.
