I'd love to, personally, but does anyone else feel like they're too busy working on their product to worry about this? Maybe in a month or two when our codebase is more stable.

#102Earlier quoted context omitted.
He killed the elephant because it was destroying the communities crops, and the community got fed well from the meat. I don't think it's quite as one sided as you propose.
You bought that lie? That story was a PR cover-up to stop people from leaving GoDaddy. I guess it actually worked.
I'd really like to see proof that it was made up. It sounds reasonable on its face, rogue elephants trampling crops and people isn't unheard of.

#103I tried to move a week ago but GoDaddy doesn't allow transfer when Whois-Privacy is enabled. Guess that means I'm locked in because I don't want my name attached to those domains.
Maybe put in fake whois information for the day that the transfer is happening. Once it's moved, re-enable the privacy. The info doesn't even need to be fully fake, you can use a throwaway email address so that you're still reachable.
You aren't allowed to use fake whois information in accordance with ICANN.

#104My peer pressure / herd mentality / mob detection shields always get activated at times like this.
Indeed, and I just got myself another domain Yesterday through Godaddy. They are really the Wal-Mart of domain name selling, disliked by snobs and hipsters but everyone will buy from them at some point.
Thank you for denigrating everyone who chooses not to do business with a reprehensible company as a "snob or hipster", jerk. Go read their ToS. They suck for more reasons than the one everyone is talking about now.

Can you transfer to another internal GoDaddy account in a different name (that you create) and then transfer them out?
It would have to be to someone that you know and don't mind being exposed to said domain as in accordance with ICANN you can't use fake whois information.

#106The thing that surprised me most about this whole situation is that so many tech-savvy people use Godaddy. Their spammy marketing and variable pricing screams bush-league to me. I'll forgive my dad for using them cause he doesn't know he had options, but for something so fundamental, how does anyone trust them?
I never really put much thought into my registrar before. Godaddy had everything I needed at a good price. They were also big enough that I was confident they wouldn't go belly up leaving me with a problem.

#107I have one domain that I manage at GoDaddy, but actually belongs to the restaurant that my in-laws own. I will be moving it soon, but I don't have the time at the moment.
Re: Poll: Will you move your domains from GoDaddy today?
#108I won't because GoDaddy no longer supports SOPA.
Re: Poll: Will you move your domains from GoDaddy today?
#109I'e never directly given a dime to Go Daddy, for domains or anything else.
I don't give a rip about the low-brow ads or the elephant hunting - I just don't like supporting businesses that operate like Go Daddy, and I certainly have no interest in trusting one as skeezy as them for something as critical as domain registration.

Any change you make to your contact details will lock your domain for another 60 days. That means, you will be stuck for another 60 days before you can transfer the name away from Godaddy.
