SLSA Hall of Fame
The Second Life Surfing Association (SLSA) Hall of Fame (HoF), "Where the Legends Live." Walking thru the halls of the structure designed by Syx Toshi, it does have the feel of an honored place dedicated to those in SL surfing that have earned their way in by outsurfing the competition or being nominated by the surf community and voted in by the other HoF members for their contributions to SL surfing.
The names going back several years now were at one time completely foreign to me. I had no idea who these people were, what they did, and why they were here - I just knew it was something important and they must have been something special to be honored in this way. Now, many of these names and pictures on the placques are close friends of mine that I have shared good and bad times with and come thru a better person for having shared those times.
Not everyone agrees in the concept of an HoF. Some feel it should be opened to more membership, or no membership. Some feel it should be abolished. Some feel it should rotate to various beaches and some feel it deserves a permanent home. If you've never been to the Hall of Fame, stop by, read the placques, check out the faces. Currently located at Archipelago, the SLSA sim.

And yes Syx did a great job with the building design which won the competition by popular vote of the SLSA membership.
