I'll be switching the first thing tomorrow morning.. all 100 or so of my domains. Will be spreading the word to all my internet marketing friends as well. I'm tempted to write a scraper script that finds sites registered with Godaddy (using public registration info/searching for "registered with Godaddy"), harvest emails, and tell them all about switching.

Do not do this. Committing evil even for the sake of good is still committing evil. Do not spam Godaddy's users.

I've got like 4 years left on one registration. Anyone know if there's a way to carry over the time I've already paid for? Are there registrars that will do this?

About 25 domains, though I found out there was a catch around transferring domains within 30 days of their expiration date, so it's more like 21.

I'm not. I said I was tempted to.. but I'm too lazy to do it =)

Transferred 1 expiring + 2 that had just autorenewed last month. You don't 'lose' the time remaining on a domain - Hover (probably all the registrars) just take the domain under their control and bill you when the current registration period is up (+ $10 a\per domain for transfer fee)

Yes. Just transferred 31 domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap. Would like to transfer more but Namecheap doesn't accept .asia domains.
