THEY AREN'T SUPPORTING IT ANYMORE!

Doesn't change the fact that they're losing my business. In fact, I'd recommend that anyone who has switched away from Go Daddy remain so, as a warning to any company that would consider something like this in the future. Them changing their position after taking a loss only shows that profit is the most important factor for them, and not "to support security and stability of the internet". They had one shot at my business, and they blew it. Case closed.
Who pays for domains anyways?
Agreed.
Also, current top story on Reddit:
GoDaddy has NOT withdrawn its official congressional support for SOPA
I have no idea why anyone would choose GoDaddy to begin with.
Pretty much that, though they're just my domain registrar. I wanted a dotcom back in 05-06 and godaddy was cheap.
I'd find a new registrar but I'm fucking lazy, plus I owe them like $40 due to a bounced check + the yearly registration fee. Hell, the domain's sitting in dead water since it's not tied to any web space and I haven't had the time to make a new site.
The equivalent of this censor, this shit is back.

The Internet Kill Switch bill, officially called the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, gives the President the authority to police, censor and shut down parts of the Internet under a cyber emergency. While promoting the bill, Lieberman openly called for the U.S. to have the same ability to censor the Internet as China.
Mindfuck.
why is this shit not on the news?
not even remotely surprised.
Fucking damnit.
I hate living here.
