Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Biggest Monitor
What is the biggest Monitor (besides the Komoto Dragon)?? One of my friends said something called a Sulphur Monitor grows the biggest/weighs the most but I could have sworn someone was selling a monitor at a show I went to when I was a little kid and they said THEIR type of monitor grew the largest, but it wasn't called a Sulphur. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Assuming you are considering both overall length AND body mass, the answer would be the water monitor (V. salvator). The sulfur monitor you mentioned IS a water monitor, but one characterized by a greater degree of yellow...especially on the upper body (head, neck, and upper back area).
If, however, you want to know the longest monitor, that is the crocodile monitor (V. salvadorii) - which actually can surpass the Komodo dragon in length.

Sulphur water monitor
The sulphur water monitor's defining difference from other water monitors is the lack of stripe behind the eye. Some ugly ones arent even all that bright but all sulphurs have that one characteristic in common. They are a naturally occuring morph found in populations of normal colored water monitors. They generally get brighter with age.
