This site, UPLB MASS Online, was launched on June 17, 2001. It was originally a "sub web" of Gino Carteciano's personal site. The site conformed to the design and layout of Gino's site. We will refer to that version of the site as "Version 1". It had a black background, few content, green text, and huge ugly buttons. It was nasty. A few weeks after Version 1, visitor feedback eventually drove Gino to create UPLB MASS' own site. "Version 2" was born.

Version 2 still featured the big ugly buttons and more crude "Photoshopped" images. It still only contained basic information about UPLB MASS. Text and images. Simple and crude. But it cultivated Gino's use of GIF images, tables, color combinations (this incarnation of the site already conforms to UPLB MASS' official colors: white and blue), and even Flash animations. This version introduced the picture galleries, the message board, and the guest book. Further experimentations with lay outing and design led to "Version 3".

Version 3 went back to a black background, but this time, with white text. It was Flash-buttons-laden, therefore disagreeing with people with slow connections. It was edgy, dark, and in the long run, depressing. Moving further into this depression, Gino tried a very short-lived "Version 3.1" where Flash buttons were exchanged for JPEG buttons and text links. It was time for Version 4.

Version 4 returned to the official colors, with the addition of orange, a good complement to a light shade of blue. Flash animations were limited to making "mini-movies", and links were left to simple JPEG buttons and text links. The Free-for-all Links Page was added in this version. With a more refined style of lay outing, it turned out to be the most easy-to-the-eyes incarnation of the site.

Version 5 came with the new year 2003, and a new host (Web1000.com), where the site experienced, for the first time, having no ads and/or pop-ups. The site was compressed for easier updates. But it did prove difficult to navigate. The site was broken down to five sections: About Us, Stuff, The Site, Coming Soon, and Communicate. A more sophisticated graphics lay out was implemented. It was in constant retooling until this version was taken down, and Version 6 came to be.

Version 6 was designed for easier navigation with beefed up content . New additions to the site included the Live Chat, the Members' Area, and the return of the Articles section. The look of the site has also been overhauled to complement UPLB MASS' official colors more, hence the lack of orange. This version's launch coincided with the celebration of the 30th year of UPLB MASS.

Version 7 improved on the color scheme and design of Version 6, the version was a true update of the previous version. The member's only section and some minor features of the site have been removed. This version also comes with a new host. UPLB MASS staples like the seal, the summation-integral, and George the MASScot have taken prominent roles in the design and the layout. One of the biggest additions to the site is the online journal.

Version 7.1 is the site's current version. The site's contents are primarily based from version 7. A flash navigation bar is added. Actually, this version is composed of more flash animations than any other earlier versions of the site. It was primarily designed by Aldrich Escudero. It was the first time the organization's website was designed by a member other than Gino Carteciano. One of the biggest additions to the site are the online forum (UPLB MASS Forums) and online blog (UPLB MASS Domain). Another big feature of the site is that it also comes with its own EMAIL application. But perhaps the greatest achievement of this version is that it comes with its own exclusive URL unlike the earlier versions that are just extensions of free web hosting sites. Thanks to our very generous alumni.
