Forum News / Front portal and articles
Last post by Dave -
As you will have noticed if you're on a computer, I have installed a portal on the front page.
It is not enabled for mobiles as the icon system on mobile is slightly less obvious.

I have also enabled an article system which will allow blog posts to be posted to the front page. I will start doing this soon. Ant articles will be posted only with the authors' permission.

The forum has been updated to the latest software version. 8)

With any luck, this should not have caused any issues but if you do see any problems please let me know, either by PM or in this thread.  ::)

I've also run some maintenance on the site which should make it run a bit quicker if the update didn't mess anything up.

General Discussion / Transhumanism
Last post by Dave -
I've been reading and watching some stuff about this subject over the last few weeks.

Some of the stuff I've read is fairly strange.  There are several different approaches discussed from implants to full brain transplant and then onto a consciousness upload, which seems the least likely to be honest.
Has anyone else read /seen anything about this?
