For someone that has 300 odd domains with them I see this as a major kick in the teeth.

AnniKN · 07-10-2008, 12:31 AM

Well, it's nice to know that it's not just paranoia from my part - they ARE cunts ^_^

Pretty crappy from them, yeah... I wonder how many other things will come out sooner or later...

CunningStunt · 07-10-2008, 02:19 PM

People need to know...

You have to be crazy to have that many names with godaddy. They are one of the worst registrars to be with if you work in adult.

I think people need to know how to transfer from godaddy to a better company.

lol. that's a juicy answer.

ouch....

tony286 · 07-10-2008, 03:49 PM

that's very fucked up.

JamesK · 07-10-2008, 06:20 PM

Fucking scumbags. I always knew they were, so this doesn't surprise me.

It's sad that so many people are still with GoDaddy, just because nothing happened to THEM. They're just waiting to get fucked in the ass by a fat negro cock.

Domain Diva · 07-10-2008, 06:24 PM

ummmmm i dunno if this has happened to anyone else lately,l got a call yesterday from Godaddy (I have about 12 domains with them) asking if l was happy and if l had any complaints about thier service I said No and that was it

just felt strange its not like l have 3000 domains

tigermtb · 07-10-2008, 06:25 PM

Shill bidding? Yikes.. that's pretty low.

BlackCrayon · 07-10-2008, 06:31 PM

There was no shill bidding. Godaddys VP is a well respected domainer. The only thing I don't like about the situation is that he was hired to take care of godaddys aftermarket. If he has any inside information at all, it shouldn't be allowed plain and simple.

DamageX · 07-10-2008, 06:40 PM

Although I think GoDaddy are big pieces of shit, I followed the links and couldn't see any proof posted. In fact, someone commented that this Adam Dicker isn't even part of their staff. Anyone got anything more substantial to back this up with?

My parents don't call me as much as GoDaddy does. Its kinda annoying.

I wish there was a better company. Don't get me wrong, GoDaddy sucks sweaty donkey bollocks, but where would you switch? Namecheap? Moniker? Comon now, let's be realistic. These are far bigger jokers than GoDaddy.

czarina · 07-10-2008, 06:47 PM

While I wouldn't touch Moniker, I moved all my domains from GoDaddy to NameCheap years ago and haven't had a single issue whatsoever. However, I'd love to hear what bad experiences you've had with them, so at least I'm prepared.

gne112 · 07-10-2008, 06:55 PM

what a good scam

GrouchyAdmin · 07-10-2008, 06:56 PM

Yeah. I also switched a domain to Moniker to test them, only to expire it and reiregister just so I didn't have to try to deal with them anymore to transfer it.

I've asked that question in another thread. Who else would you go with?

I removed all my domains from Directnic about 3 years ago because they were fucktards. I have never had an issue with godaddy up until now, and that's because it's a morality issue.

Who am I kidding, we work in adult / interweb, are there any morals anymore? No.

You got it CunningStunt it doesnt matter if its a domain corp,a cell phone corp,or even your electricity supplier its a competitive world and its time people started to grasp that fact

Bell Canada are about to rip of all IPhone users friday its all just business in todays dog eat dog world

Moniker has always done right by me at auctions and they are a stable place to house domains. Also Bari is an awesome account rep but just my 2 cents.

Go Daddy calls me for fucking everything but it takes 24 hours to get a response for a support ticket.

WTF?!?!

stop calling people for useless shit and respond to support e-mails!!!

seriously fuck Go Daddy. If I wasn't so lazy / cheap i'd transfer out all of my domains.

Matt 26z · 07-10-2008, 10:41 PM

I don't see a problem with GoDaddy employees openly bidding on domains. Having access to max bid numbers doesn't actually help anyone win. Such data is just a curiosity at best.

I agree - 1 experience with them was enough to say 'no thanks'.
Can't wait to get that one domain transferred out.

Martin · 07-10-2008, 11:22 PM

I'm still godaddy. For years now.

cheekycherry · 07-11-2008, 02:59 AM

Godaddy are scum... this is more proof.

2012 · 07-11-2008, 03:01 AM

shocker ...

Gillespie · 07-11-2008, 11:28 AM

I have some domains with Enom and some recentrly transferred to GoDaddy. I don't have any complaints from either. In fact, I've never had an issue with a domain name. What kind of problems do you run into?

Amber Kelly · 07-11-2008, 12:30 PM

wow good to know.

pornguy · 07-11-2008, 12:36 PM

What an ass. Wonder how much he got, and how much godaddy got.

femdomdestiny · 07-11-2008, 12:53 PM

I was running their traffic facts software for more then a year. In one moment, they mixed up stats,ruined them, and didn't want to accept their mistake even if I made clear proofs (for example, on referrer list is one website, sending thousands of clicks daily, and that is my domain, no outgoing links...etc). This ruined my tracking and stats, and link exchange campain. DOn't work with them
