Over the years this site has undergone several redesigns, the most recent of which was launched September 29, 2009, to serve as a precursor to the release of Bruce Kulick's upcoming solo album, "BK3", in early 2010. Elements featured in this most recent redesign, the site's most extensive, include a flash streaming audio player, tie-ins and setup of profiles to social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube), photo galleries, SEO optimization, and online merchandise offerings via pay-pal.

Content managed the site from its inception in 1995 to 2004, when the site's direction was handed over to another KISS fan. From its inception, the core foundation of KissAsylum.com was based around user contributed content, which was not very common back in 1995. Community involvement included fan photo galleries, message boards, tour and album reviews, online sitelets for KISS print fanzines, and the KISS news was translated into 11 languages. Also featured were a number of guest authors and columnists throughout the online community. This massive website consists of thousands of pages and was updated almost daily with breaking news about the band. Still online today, KissAsylum.com, "KISS News Around The Clock", is the longest running KISS fan website.

    KissAsylum.com received awards from Entertainment Weekly Online, Lycos Top 5%, Yahoo Internet Life Magazine, the New York Post, Encycolpedia Britannica Online, VH-1 Online and Metal Edge Magazine.
