Transfer to: Gandi: https://www.gandi.net/domain/transfer 1and1: http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/DomaininfoMove NameCheap: http://community.namecheap.com/blog/2011/03/30/elephants/ Basically go to any registrars home page and either search for "Transfer" on the page itself or in their search box if provided. They will all offer it together with easy how to steps - and I am sure their support team will help as well.…

I'd encourage you to avoid 1and1. Horrendous customer service, crippled control panels, etc.

1and1 are quite simply the WORST company I have ever done business with. Avoid them like the plague.

I've been using namecheap for a couple of years, and I'm very happy with them.

> I'm certainly not moving my domains over this. Me neither. I'm moving my domains because this reminded me of the silent, seething rage I have for Bob Parson's face. When I go to a site that registers and manages domains, I don't want to see your face. I also don't want to see ads about how great your company is. When I buy a domain, I don't want to wade through five pages of bullshit you put up in the hopes that I…

Just out of curiosity where are you going to move your domains? I own just over 30 domains all at GoDaddy and I'd move them over the massive amounts of cross selling and insanely cluttered UI.

I use dreamhost which sells domains at 10 bucks with automatic private registration. But dreamhost only sells .com, .net, and .us I believe. For the others I use name.com

Honestly I haven't done enough research, but I completely agree with the OP. I'd rather pay double than to have to sift through godaddys utter bullshit of a UI.

I'm slowly moving all my domains to Name.com. Once your account is setup and you've purchased one domain, all future domain purchases take a grand total of two clicks.

It's not offensive to "vegetarians" – it's offensive to people who care about living beings.

If you're offended by the practice of killing living beings for food, but you're not a vegetarian, what you are is simply inconsistent.

Sunchild didn't say anything about killing living beings for food. Only that as a person who cares about living beings, this seems offensive.

You're assuming a very specific value system on the basis of a single, vague axiom.

> You are using the above as buzzwords. I agree that my reply to you was not very articulate. I originally started explaining why your points were not relevant to the question whether his behaviour was morally acceptable, but then I realised that I would essentially be explaining the above fallacies, even though there are already better explanations available. I may have misread your post, but to me it looked like yo…

> I know at least one person who is angry about this and is a strict vegetarian who has done lots of humanitarian work in Africa. Agreed. There are people like this in the world. But they are few, and certainly not the majority. My issue is not with what is moral, but with how easily people blame and demonize others.

.. and so you generalise and point your finger towards others as a response?

It's not the hunting that offends me. It's the GoDaddy hats during the slaughter.

The butcher at my grocery store wears a coat with the company name on it while he grounds up my hamburger.

That's cool, so does mine, and I have zero problem with that. However, GoDaddy is not it the elephant butchering business. Slapping their hats on people butchering an elephant strikes me as a crass marketing attempt (even for them).

I don't understand your point. You're just restating the hypocrisy that randallsquared pointed out.

There's nothing hypocritical or even illogical about special casing every single species with varying levels of concern. At some point you have a set of purely irrational axioms about some qualities, be they kingdom, phylum, family, genus, species, or some other subjective criteria for what makes a living creature worthy of consideration when its life is in danger.

If you don't believe there's a rational basis to this consideration, it's hypocritical to criticize somebody else for having a different but no less valid set of qualities he considers.

Because basic supply and demand suggests that their are way more rich Americans wanting to shoot elephants than there are elephants in need of shooting. Ergo: the idea itself isn't sustainable, economically or morally.

Charge them a license fee to shoot the elephants in need of shooting, and increase that fee until supply meets demand. Now its sustainable economically, if possibly not morally.

Yes because rich and stable African governments are completely able to ensure their wildlife is protected properly in the same way a western country can.

I like the free market too, but let's be reasonable here. We can dump money into Africa at far greater levels than they can sustainably support.

I like gandi quite a lot, it's simple and reliable.
