The New Logo & The Next Big Thing

The New BoonEx Logo

The time has come to say goodbye to our old logo, it has served us well and will remain a part of the company history.

Now, let me introduce the new corporate identifier of BoonEx Pty Ltd.:

New BoonEx Logo

The new logo now carries this message - the meaning of our operation - our mission - Unite People. The words that we associate with this logo are: unity, diversity, infinity, process, collaboration, limitlessness. This is what we're up to.

The Next Big Thing

With BoonEx, if it seems like things are going quietly, then you can bet that something BIG is in works. And this time I mean it...

At this point, the whole thing is strictly classified. So let's just call it "NBT" for now.

I really don't mean to tease you (ok, maybe a little), but you surely need to know that we're hard at work...

I'm talking about new releases (I can't even tell you if they are versions, or entirely new products) - a few of them, and each being superior to, say, Dolphin and Ray altogether! In fact, we believe that they are going to be revolutionary in every way - a totally new approach, with the newest technologies, newest strategy, and most importantly - totally limitless opportunities.

Not too clear, huh? One thing is for sure - whoever becomes our customer now - will be happy with the NBT.

When? Depending on 88,743,874,993 factors... anytime from now and up to the end of the year. If, however, another 4,839 factors kick in - it may take a tad more.

Trust me, though - it's going to be one of the things that is darn well worth waiting for!

new things that are need in my eyes are.
IP# on registration and profiles
ray chat auto flood kicker, (i.e. type 5 lines in as many seconds and poof your kicked out the chat.)
ray chat word filter.
podcast
cell/mobile phone use to enter chat.
direct movie upload from mobile phone

moderators should not need to log off main site and login moderator site to access moderator controls, admin should be able to set permissions for each moderator to what they can moderate, i.e. profile pics, music uploads, profile content. forum posts,

bug/error in system, ray chat still does not show members in chat as being online under the main sites members online.

chat skins, we need to have some way to change chat skins to suit our own sites colour scheme, maybe include and option to use a css file to change the basic colours or have an option like the font colour picker, to change colour scheme'

all of the above i feel would make dolphin much more better for site owners.

sadly i hate it when things are secret, it means we have no input and therefore anything new you bring out has had only a few minds mulling over the idea, where you have a vast amount of webmasters that can really give you some valuable input into what your aiming for.

i myself have been a webmaster for 6 years, and own 41 domians.

Well if this means going up to a new 6.2 DOLPHIN with out all the tracs @ BONEX
not even finnished then this will never be finnshed and this has to stop and we need to give you a sorta idea what the users like and want and then we can put it all together to deciding whats next

but I will always miss the 5.6 DOLPHIN

the new DOLPHIN was supposed to have a 2 TEMPLATE SYSTEM but of course it never did .... thats what BOONEX PROMISED to us in the past when 6.0 was out for download ...........

This is scary what your saying that something is coming ...comon lets get serious and lets get an idea before you put something out before anything I think you and the TEAM of BOONEX need to really focus on finnishing all the nugs in DOLPHIN ........

there was never a 5.7 or 5.8 or 5.9 you jumped from 5.6 to 6.0 ???

this is not ANDREY ways of doing this ... ANDREy i know loves to finnish something before he comes out with something new ...

Sorry I want ANDREY back cause he knows what we want and he would never leave us this long without telling us and i want him back so we can finnish off DOLPHIN to be bug free . or close enough and then we can head on to better stuff .................

ANDREY
(OWNER OF BOONEX)

where is he ?????????????????

Hi Andrey,
Logo thing:
well to be honest, i like the old logo miuch more, it looked more serious then the new one...
And here at Unity, browsing it with FF3, the logo on left is far to big and its not "sharp". It seems like i need glasses cause its sized to big an not a clear one as this what you posted. Maybe you have to raise the resolution or the size or whatever, but i would say, correct it fast ;) Or bring the old one back ;)

The big thing:
Im starting now 3 projects with Dolphin 6.1.2, bought a lot of mods, i hope that there wont be a new release so soon cause then a lot of work and money will be wasted. If you are making new release, then pls look also at some main mods that they can be still used or build in this features.
I already subscribed to the newsletter at products page, oh no, im colored me interested ;) So lets see what happend, but if you are making new release for dolphin, make sure its easy to update.

Greets,
Jerry

Ok, it feels like some clarification is needed:

1. Dolphin 6.1 will live on. Dolphin 6.2 will also appear eventually. Patches, with fixes and upgrades will continue being released. There's no plans of dropping the line or lowering our efforts on it.

2. NBT is not a Dolphin 6 upgrade. It's a whole different thing, a few things actually. If everything goes the way we plan - webmasters, businessmen, designers, programmers, your mom and dad, me, etc. WILL want it (sorry for being so unclear, I really am sorry guys).

Not bad logo. I like the symbol. Message is clear and great! However, I think letters are too big (all capital). so they are swalowing and diminishing logo message (Unity, etc).

You shuold stick with original letters: BoonEx, or, even all small letters: boonex. And black color should be changed with the color of Unity symbol, I think (much nicer and more pleasant for eyes).

At the end, please forgive me because I am new member, but anyone can answer what exactly "BoonEx" means?
(Well, I know BooneyM were one of most popular groups...).

I hope, I wish and I KNOW you BoonEx guys will surprise us with something much, much bigger and better than is Dolphin, whom we still love so much...

Just do not throw at us again tons of upgrades, patches etc. Let it be something REALLY new and - gooooood....

Good luck and all the best!

Way to go, BoonEx!

Thanks for the clarification... it just seems like things were happeneing really fast with Dolphin over the past several months, and then for the last month or so we've heard and seen VERY little from you guys. So hopefully you guys will follow through with what you just said, and will continue to support, update, patch, enhance, and bug-fix Dolphin.... and it won't be placed on the back burner... at LEAST not until it's totally bug free.

I may be alone on this. But some kind of product or application that EVERYbody wants, loses its appeal and value sometimes. I don't want to offer a website and services that everybody else in the world is offering as well. If Boonex makes it TOO easy for everybody to unite and become one huge community we won't really have much to offer anymore. Of course we DON'T know what you are talking about.... but most of us seem to suspect it's Shark or some kind of shared/unifed community.

Thank you for the new logo information.

I am running smart pro (dolphin 6.0 with orca 1 and ray 3.1 because of the bugs in newer versions so far). Your info regarding the next big think is a little big confusing and I have some questions now:

Are ecards available for language switching now - as promised in an email some weeks ago?
Will the next big thing be available for smart pro customers as an upgrade?
When will the next big thing be available?
Is dolphin 6.1, orca 2 and ray 3.5 stable now to run as a professional community solution. I did not update so far because of some fairs regarding bugs, loosing members and business.

Sorry for my bad english, regards, Herbert

________________

Dolphin 6.1 development, support, fixing and improvement will go on. You can safely assume that 6.1 will be around for about a year from now. With due fixes and improvements.

We are not dropping Dolphin 6.

Just look at Extensions at Expertzzz and Unity and you'd immediately realize why Dolphin 6 should stay around no matter what. And while we're talking - Dolphin team is working on the next patch.

I totally understand your concern and do care about finishing 6.1, so there's nothing to worry about. It's not that much about Dolphin, really, it's a lot more than that.

Dolphin is on the right track. I think the new solution is in order. My dolphin 6.1.2 site is full of promise. At 12 days we had over 500 members with just me advertising it on 1 web 2.0 site. Everyone was exited with the layout and the community built on your CMS. I purchased a dolphin license a expertzzz contributor account to show support for the community. I hope the later versions get the kinks out for sure :) BTW my site needs some love so all you programmers willing to work on a 50USD, send me a message! lol

What also we need to do is put video email inside this as well. Everything else is video why not video email? What do you think. I think that is a great idea, And Cut away all the fat that we don't ever use on this site. make them addon packs if you need them.

Oh yeah.. Great..

As it is paid licences for Ray modules I've not been able to use.. A problem I wrote to Boonex in May 20 is still not addressed.. Now we are supposed to look out for the NBT., I expect the 'next Big Thing' would be boonex support team vanishing in total. And all of us shutting our sites to make 'Groups' in Boonex Unity to run our communities.. ! !

Please make good the existing promises first.. And recheck the way "The Licensing system" works.. And please do not release versions that are so buggy., that we need a bunch of Expertzzz flyswatters to clear them out..

L.O.L

I knew this day was coming from the first day I had a look around the forums at all the problems we're having and saw the codename "Shark".

They are going to release a PAID CMS and end this free ride crap. And ya know what. I'm fine with that. I won't buy it (because I've already invested too much time and money into getting Dolphin to work properly) but I sure do hope they don't think for a second they can continue to NOT support the paid version buyers like they are screwing over the smartpro buyers right now. That would suck to watch...

I don't usually use it for anything but cross testing but the website is looking all funky in IE6 (the /unity homepage). And that's about my only complaint about Boonex products: they never seem to work right on all browsers. It sure looks nice, has a lot of cool features but that doesn't do much if only some people will be able to use them. So I think that if you are coming out with a new product it should fix the "old things" to a level where they work everywhere. Just my two cents.

"I see your point. The catch is that Dolphin or any other product, per se, should not be your offering. ideally it should be a tool to deliver your idea/initiative and unite people over it. And perfect tool is something that helps you all the way and doesn't limit you in any manner, right?

Like, say, you have an idea for "Neighborhood community of Santa Monica" - not dating, not social networking, not exactly a forum, or chat. Our-of-the box Dolphin or any other package just doesn't make it - so you get Dolphin, buy mods, hire programmer, change, try, change, try, etc. Then comes a version update and you're in trouble :). THAT is the main problem we're trying to address."

This is the smartest thing I've ever heard anyone developing open-source software say.

It's obvious you GET what the internet is becoming. I, for one, look forward to what you're developing if it's built with what you just said as its core idea and drive.

Thank You for all your hard work!!
