Imgur.com: Why We Dumped GoDaddy

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday December 28, 2011 @10:04PM from the it's-not-me-it's-you dept.

Velcroman1 writes "On the eve of what has been dubbed "Dump Go Daddy Day," imgur.com — the massive image hosting site responsible for an astonishing 28 terabytes of bandwidth and nearly 200 million page views per day — has already changed its registry entries, foreshadowing the potential negative effect of a boycott set to begin Thursday morning. GoDaddy.com originally supported the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) but quickly recanted its position when the call for a boycott circulated. 'The outcry kind of forced our hand,' imgur founder and owner Alan Schaaf said. 'I'm against the SOPA act and imgur as a company is against it. We just feel it is terrible that GoDaddy.com would support this legislation.'"

"Godaddy is the McDonalds of domain registration."
No they are not. Their fries suck.
At least McDonalds fries are a lot better than everyone elses.
