And I've been thinking this whole time that Github were registered through a more elitist and upmarket domain registrar, haha. In all seriousness though, considering all of the mayhem a little while ago with GoDaddy supporting SOPA and the CEO being caught killing an elephant in Zimbabwe I am surprised that Github didn't move domain registrars when the uproar was in full-swing. Maybe the chance of downtime was too much for them to risk.
I hope this post hits the front page. It will give GitHub a chance to publicly correct the oversight and do the right thing.
April fools!
