Knowing that I would need to pay to renew them anyway made it slightly less painful. It's tough to cough up $300+ at once, but SOPA is a horrible idea and GoDaddy apparently has no clue who their customers are. I'd be very curious to see some stats on how many transfers happened because of this effort.
- lux 15y agoWould love to see that stat. I guess competitors could post about spikes, giving us a sense based on their numbers.
- freejack 15y agoWe did 10x the inbound xfer volume on the 22nd vs. the 21st. So far on the 23rd, we're at 80% of the volume we saw on the 22nd. This only counts completed transfers, and there are a ton more in process as people fiddle with the Godaddy knobs and dials. One of our customers wrote a great transfer how-to that can be found here... https://twitter.com/technologypoet/status/150084142577623042 https://twitter.com/technologypoet/status/150084142577623042 ...and to head off any bandwagon jumping criticisms, we've been publicly opposed to this sort of legislative gerrymandering long before Godaddy stepped out in favour of it... https://www.hover.com/blog/hover-opposes-sopa https://www.hover.com/blog/hover-opposes-sopa
- Calamitous 15y agoI agree with your sentiment, but the Grammar Nazi in me wants to make you aware that gerrymandering is a specific type of political malfeasance related to redistricting, not a generic term for political chicanery. :)
