"Extropy" is a term that was previously coined by a group of fairly nice people to describe themselves, and so far as I know is being stolen here without permission.
Seems like it was quite a time to be online. I mostly know of it through this version of events. Not sure how accurate you'd find it:

The word "extropy" itself seems to go back several decades before the mailing list, if I'm reading correctly here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extropianism. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if many/most of the original mailing list members found this usage a corruption.
