Lotus Notes gave many sorting features to the web site, but was difficult to add Photos to profiles. In 2000 I recoded in C, PHP, and mysql, this allowed the site to run quicker and allow more users, but didn't have all the sort features that Lotus Notes provided. Over the years, those sorting features were added back in.

I'm a big guy, I stand at 6' 5". When I was working out with a friend who was 5'7" we both were working hard yet he looked huge, his arms looked big, his chest looked big. So it was discouraging to say the least. When I talked to a personal trainer he told me that because of my frame size, my muscles were longer, so it took a lot more to make them show. It was this revelation, that I wanted to create a site where I could compare other guys my height and what their stats were. The secondary reason was at the time in 1998/1999 most web sites were managed by the webmasters. Updates would be published, weekly or everyother week. I figured why wait, why not have a site that when its updated, its live on the site.
