Hello friends,
If I were to grow a character from 7 feet, and 450 pounds to 10 feet tall, how do I calculate what the character's new weight would be? Would it be somewhere over a ton?
Someone please help! I stink at math! LOL!

The Visual Macro Statistics tool actually figures this out, among other things! You'll want to try the "GetWeight" command, e.g.
https://vms.bigfurs.com/help/#GetWeight: I know this works since I use it :)
If you don't want to stop by IRC to poke the Mechamaw bot (we won't bite.. mostly!), you can play around with the Flash VMS tool here,
https://vms.bigfurs.com/ . The interface itself doesn't support setting a custom weight, but you can do that on your account if you create one via the website, here
https://axiom.bigfurs.com/VMSRegister.php . I -think- that should scale according to your actual weight.
Now, if you want to figure out on your own.. it's loosely based on the Square Cube Law. In short, if you do size×4, it's weight×8. There's a neat article on it here,
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/square-cube-law.html , and as usual, Wikipedia has a bunch of math for it, here

How do I log in to the VMS? I don't see a login screen.
