Well, since we're having so many voices I too shall partake in this debate.
I believe that we have come a long way from being just a hacking site. When this site was created we surely had in mind "a place where people can (k)ongregate in order to share, create and divulgate cheats for the said site". But as the years have come and gone the site has gained a new purpose in a whole, we are no more limited to hacking flash games, although that is still our primary focus, we are now a place where Newgrounds, Facebook, Miniclip and even normal computer games cheats can be found (or if there are still no cheats for those games we also have dedicated places for those kind of hacks). It is my opinion that by holding the name "Kong" in the site we limit at least in part our ability (and also merchancability) of being remembered, people will somewhat think of us as just a place for Kongregate hacks, whereas we have departed from that ideal and have embraced a bigger ideal, that of "a place where people congregate to share, create, learn and discuss hacking games".
Now, the harder part I think is of letting go of the "hack" part. If you look at the comparison that Google has of the Word search you'll notice that people look far more for the word "Cheat" than "Hack". Although both can be synonimous in some context, it is easier for people to remember "cheat" than "hack", or if not remember, to relate to cheating than hacking.
I believe that this is of importance since we are trying to have more people visiting and taking part on the community.
All in all, I believe that the name change will be a good change. What I believe that we should pay attention to is to how our present community feels about it. We can't change it just for the future members but also so that our present members feel confortable with this name change. After all, the name is also part of our identity and therefore should appease more to us than to our new members.
So yeah, I like the name change and I believe that CheatAsylum will look good for us. Also, the Asylum is specially nice since it gives quite a few good ideas of what I think we have here (Insane people who are tired of those mindless constraints that game makers forces us into, which more often than not makes the game boring, as well as a place for those people to be treated into.)
No number of hacks, good or bad, can replace Common Sense.
If you don't know how to use a hack, don't complain about them. Ask first, then complain.
In case you'd like me to update one of my hacks, please PM me, I'll bother updating them...
We don't bitetoo much.
