It makes GoDaddy look bad, which is fine by me.

My thoughts exactly. This isn't affecting just GoDaddy but a great number of other sites (including mine, unfortunately).

That's kinda the point though isn't it? Why is anyone still using GoDaddy after SOPA / elephant killing / earlier outages / etc? For me at least, there's no excuse in supporting this company with my business.

I'd switched half of my domains to Namecheap. I was waiting to migrate the other half. I do not support them, but I had hired their service before SOPA and I just didn't want to pay twice.

It's giving me (and likely many others) the push needed to finally migrate everyone I know away from their hosted DNS.

Indeed. They claim to be against abuse of authority, but then take full authority to be judge, jury, and executioner. All in secret.
