In view of the recent GoDaddy and SOPA news, I wanted to see if people are actually taking action.

I switched away a long time ago, and frankly, I'm surprised how many otherwise intelligent people are still using them.

Their service has always been poor, so I never used them in the first place.

Poll is missing option: "I never used GoDaddy to begin with because of their bad track record"

I've been using them for awhile and have just been too lazy to transfer. That said, with this, I'll be swapping over on December 29th.

I transferred to namecheap.com over Bob's Elephant hunting controversy some time back. Now that doesn't seem like as big a deal in retrospect.

Was meaning to switch due to their questionable ethics but was too lazy until now. Waiting on three transfer to namecheap now.

Needs at least one more option: switched after past GoDaddy débâcles.

I didn't switch immediately after the elephant controversy, but did a couple months after that when half my domains were up for renewal.

Knowing now that Namecheap and other registrars will actually extend my expiration date no matter when it is, I'll definitely be moving my remaining domains ASAP (some of which I bought for 5-year periods not long ago, hence my prior reticence to switch).
