The future of Phoenix by RaceProUK on 04-25-2006 at 04:24 PM
I know many of you are waiting for the next Phoenix to be released: thing is, with the imminent release of Windows Live Messenger, I've decided to take a different approach for future releases. Personally, I don't see the point in working on a plugin for Plus! 3, only to stop development as soon as it's released and move on to a Phoenix for WLM. So, here's what I'm intending to do:
Similar to what TB has done with StuffPlug 3, Phoenix will become a stand-alone add-on for Messengers from 6.2 through to 8.0. It will retain most if not all it's current features, and be extended with some new stuff I've wanted to do for some time now.
It's going to take a while. I'm currently looking to have it release-ready by August/September (I currently have uni work to do, and exams start soon). However, I still want to gather opinions, requests, feedback etc. in readyness for the next version.
I also want a vote on the name: it's going to be a major funtamental change from the Phoenix we all know, so it'll need a new name. I've come up with two: if you think of anything better, please let me know.
Don't hold back

Pheonix Live sounds good 
RE: The future of Phoenix by user27089 on 04-25-2006 at 04:41 PM
Phoenix Live sounds the best.
RE: The future of Phoenix by Exo on 04-25-2006 at 04:54 PM
Pheonix Live in my opinion. 
RE: The future of Phoenix by absorbation on 04-25-2006 at 05:00 PM
Phoenix Live, mainly because you said that name before 
RE: The future of Phoenix by Eddie on 04-25-2006 at 05:03 PM
Phoenix Live...cuz "Live" is obviously the "in" word for Messenger at the moment lol

Why not? Phoenix after all is a city... And achilles is just an old greece guy
RE: The future of Phoenix by Reaper on 04-25-2006 at 08:37 PM

I thinkt he "Live" thing has been done too many times. I like Pegasus but it reminds me of my email program Pegasus Email. Hydra isn't too bad, but there are better ones out there.
RE: The future of Phoenix by Pho3niX^ReBorN on 04-26-2006 at 04:21 PM
What about this?
Phoenix²
Just an idea

Ah, my bad. Does have a nice look to it, and its not such a huge change that will confuse people.
"Hey you use Phoenix? no Hydra, wait Phoenix is.......i r confused"

i dont think you want or need another software tied with the name ' live ' all we'll have 50+ software with the ending live
you cant have the term Pegasus coz thats a Novel mail app should be something else with a cool name
RE: The future of Phoenix by Supersonicdarky on 04-27-2006 at 11:43 AM
Just cahnged my vote, maybe Phoenix Reborn?
cuz i though phoenix live > phoenix alive > phoenix born > phoenix reborn
RE: The future of Phoenix by ins4ne on 04-27-2006 at 11:49 AM
you should take a cool name from mythology like your 3 suggestions...

Now, in all seriousness the posts I have quoted above make a very good point. Since I am superior then all of you, I believe these ideas should be put into immediate action!
Btw does this program/plugin already have a logo
(fyi I made my sig, and click the sig for a gallery).
RE: The future of Phoenix by Idium on 04-28-2006 at 06:26 PM
i like the idea of Pheonix-Reborn cause its a app reborn from the ashes of a plus! plugin
