Hello Cakers! A number of our users have asked if we'll be changing our name. We can confirm that our name will be remaining the same, due to a number of reasons:
Firstly, we would need to purchase new domain names and re-configure our servers; while it might not be expensive to do this, it is still a valid reason.
