#102I moved 10 domains over which are not connected to email, to confirm the process. Planning on moving the rest over soon.

#103No.
If you're being sincere, I would love to know why. Is it because you don't support SOPA, couldn't care less about SOPA and love GoDaddy, have too many hurdles to jump over, or some other reason? Just curious.
My own reason is that I hate internet-protests like this. Someone on Reddit gets some half facts, mixes in with some misquotations, then tries to whip together the internet mob to do their business.
A few geeks moving a few domains away from godaddy will have absolutely no impact on anything, and all it will do is waste the geeks own time.

#104#4. Nope, already did long ago, due to their stupid commercials.
I definitely moved mine from them long before this incident and many others. Yet I am still outraged. "I once used them before!"

#105I moved my few domains off Godaddy last month after the following occurred: 1) Godaddy left me a voicemail out of the blue saying they needed to talk about my account. 2) I called back and spent 5 minutes on hold, and another couple minutes digging up my PIN, only to learn that 3) They had noticed I was using Amazon EC2 and wouldn't I like to consider switching to Godaddy webhosting? I'm embarrassed that I chose Goda…
That's utterly unforgivable. Apparently not only do they consider customer time worthless, but they are actively tracking your usage for direct spam purposes. They're not even trying to hide it, and they're using the customer relationship as leverage (don't answer their BS calls and they'll probably just cut you off).
If you haven't done it already, I'd recommend a blog post about this, for everyone's sake. The only way I dodged the GoDaddy bullet was reading about nonsense like this.
And for what it's worth, thank you for being the example or all of us for why these clowns don't deserve our money.

#107No, I moved 60+ off there several years ago.

#108I'd vote for "I'm letting my domain(s) on godaddy die, so there's no point in paying to move them." I guess "No" is the best fit for me.

#109Earlier quoted context omitted.
I certainly understand your point but the point of the poll is to find out if GoDaddy users are actually taking actions (to find out if there will be a mass exodus).
Technically I should answer "no" on the poll, because I did not transfer my domains from GoDaddy today. I never had them registered at GoDaddy. Perhaps a typical HN reader is not as pedantic, but I expect some are, so surely having the "never used godaddy" option would have made the results more accurate.
Technically you should not participate in the poll, since it clearly doesn't apply to you.

#110I switched everyone I know months ago when their coward of a CEO was doing his elephant-slaughtering thing.
Just sent out another batch of emails to other friends and colleagues who may still use them, and will help them switch.
