You should move your domains away for reasons like constant up sales and other crappy tactics to keep you from your domains, not because the CEO shot a elephant

You should move your domains away for reasons like constant up sales and other crappy tactics to keep you from your domains, not because the CEO shot a elephant in a different country.

And that's exactly why I want to move, I just didn't know how and saw the opportunity in this thread to get some help (also, OP, sorry for the small hijacking). I've never seen an elephant in the wild and don't know Zimbabwe nearly well enough to know how much of a problem elephants in general (and this one in particular) are. The whole attitude, though... Something akin to "here I am to save the day", or something like that... That I don't like, and it adds to the poor customer experience. So, there. :)

Agreed. There are millions of people getting scammed and ruined by fat-cats everywhere, and an elephant is what it takes for people to get mad? Wake up, everyone. I hate asshats like the GoDaddy CEO just as much as you do, but this self-righteous indignation is at The View levels right now.

  Perhaps some of us care more about endangered species than those getting scammed around the world? Just a thought.

    African elephants aren't an endangered species.

      Maybe not technically, but the African Bush Elephant going down from 300,000 in 1970 to 10,000 today is a very significant drop.

      Right, they're "Vulnerable" (which is the 'best' category of threatened, from the elephants' perspectives)

    Scammed and ruined*, and I'd add killed, by way of economic force. Not every death is by way of physical force. SMH. Downvoted because I prioritize humans over elephants.

  Personally, I'm rather disheartened that it took shooting an elephant to convince people to leave GoDaddy.

As the customer I can do business with whomever I want to for whatever reason. There is no such thing as a valid concern. All my concerns are valid.
