Description

PLEASE NOTE: WE HAVE CLOSED DOWN THIS 'WATCHDOG' GROUP. WE THOUGHT WE WERE PROTECTING THE SLRR FROM A GROUP OF POWER-HUNGRY CONTROL-FREAKS, IT TURNS OUT THAT THESE INSIDERS HAVE BEEN BACKED BY MICHAEL LINDEN THE ENTIRE TIME. WE WILL NOT FIGHT LINDEN LABS, IT'S THEIR GAME! ALSO NOTE THAT WE ARE NEVER MENTIONED IN THE 'HISTORY' OF THE SLRR, THE INSIDERS ARE ABLE TO RE-WRITE HISTORY TO PRESENT THEMSELVES AS SAINTS. WE KNOW BETTER. WE SAVED THE SLRR FROM BEING DEPRECATED BY THE 'BAD GROUP' TWO YEARS IN A ROW, THEY NEVER MENTION THAT, DO THEY? THE LL TOS PREVENTS NAMING THEM OR PRESENTING THE LONG LIST OF GRIEVANCES AGAINST THEM.

The Second Life Railway Commission is composed entirely of SLRR-gauge train builders, train sellers and others who are materially involved with personal railroading on the Second Life Railroad. We are a small private group but we have an official-sounding name just like those other guys.

If you have a nice SLRR-gauge personal train, you probably made it yourself or you purchased it from one of us. Enjoy! We are the train builders in Second Life and we have joined together for the purpose of delivering a unified message to Michael Linden and the LDPW. Our message is that we support the existing SLRR standards and the freedoms that you enjoy today on the SLRR Atoll railroad tracks. We do not take either of these things for granted, nor should you.

Second Life Railway Commission charter:
1) We are all independent SLRR train builders and endorse these ideas.
2) We represent a thriving personal train industry that is good for SL.
3) Our focus is the SLRR Atoll railway tracks, not GLSR, ONSR or trolleys.
4) The current track specification is excellent, expansion is encouraged.
5) The LL TOS is sufficient, we oppose any signaling control system.
6) Resources should be applied to expansion, not automated trains.
7) We will take this message to the Lindens regularly.

The message we bring to Michael and the LDPW is clear, positive and public. The long distances covered by the SLRR Atoll railroad tracks make them a unique feature in SL and unrestricted access should continue to be provided for all residents. The current SLRR-gauge track standard supports five distinctly different types of trains, enabling residents of all skill levels to participate. The SLRR standard should be adhered to and the track system should be completed. We consider automated train systems to be completely problematic in SL, a hazard to railroading on the Atoll and a misdirection of LDPW resources.
