If the site will either have to change its focus or die, let's try to think of something that enough people would want to work on. Currently, KongHack is a game hacking site that specializes in flash games, especially games on Kongregate. We could change that to:

1. General game hacking. Problem: Too much competition.
2. X game/company game hacking. Basically, find an alternative to Kongregate – a niche that no one else has thought of. Problem: What game/company? Do enough of our members have the expertise and motivation to pursue this?
3. Stick with flash games. Problem: How?
  - KongHack Flashpoint client/plugin (MIT license).
  - Prehack arcade with ported HTML5 games or a WebAssembly Flash Player such as Ruffle (which is used and sponsored by Newgrounds). In the latter case, the games can be hosted anywhere and current AoB hacks will likely still work.


That said, if we do shut down, I would really like anything publicly available (or at least the hacks) to be archived, e.g., through archive.org or archive.is.

After one of our servers failed the a few days ago, I had to change up some code, and managed to eliminate that server entirely, which should save about $10/mo.

I'll probably work on an update tomorrow so I can throw the actual billing data back in. That, and I've gotta figure out how I built that chat box on the main index so I can remove it entirely.

hmmm...just a suggestion but what about changing the focus from kongregate to project flashpoint which is working to archive old games across various platforms and engines? not just flash games.

and you guys already cover some unity games from kong here too.

Sad to hear this.  I've been a non-regular user but around since the initial launch.  I hope there is some angle you guys can find to keep things going.

wait a few months for the official death of flash and see how things evolve, if new platforms emerge or some new trend appears and then probably keep the old archive and pivot to what is popular or more in line with the times. 

Merge with some other more varied community? shrug. Would be cool to have more people with more varied skillsets competing and growing
 

I suggest sort of archiving the site: leave the hacks and the forums (for ulterior use, reference, nostalgic value, and especially for still updating games), scrub everything else (if not removing stuff, making them non-responsive). It would take a load off servers, and the site would still exist and function for those who want to use it. I wouldn't mind it if it went over to a free hosting service, if costs can't be covered, the one thing I would mind is if it ceased to exist/function. I don't care about emotes, lottery, profile beautification, etc, but I do care about the hacks. If that part stays, I say the rest can go. Regarding the trainer... I don't see a need to do anything with it. It works, doesn't it? Then let it keep on working, there is no real need to fiddle around with it. Well, maybe remove the login, so if the site dies it can still be used? :p This site has been a tremendous support for me, for almost a decade, both with cheats and hacks, both with learning, and I'd hate to see it die. But with kongregate shutting its doors, I can see the same fate befalling konghack too.
A side idea, not sure if it's even feasible, but still, better to put it out in the open: is there a possibility to make all game cheats/forums migrate to the wemod forums? It would add a useful aspect to their forums, and save the cheats here for the future.

I'm still logging on Kongregate daily but i admit i have not played a single game in months and the site itself is funametally dead.

I'm sad to see this site go but  i have absolutely no idea on what it can be done to make it "actual" again.

That was a really bad year, this is another piece of sh*t in it.
