I should have made this a self moderated thread, so spammers wouldn't come in here and troll about how GoDaddy is so great
Really! This proves something at least. Poor observation.
Yeah, are we spammers or are we trolls? Make up your mind, lol. Perhaps we're spamming trolls. Still not as ridiculous as opening a $5 scam accusation against a web hosting company on a forum about bitcoin.
Edit: just saw this got moved to Off-Topic. In that case, its alright by me. Have at it. Hope you get your $5 back, or bring down GoDaddy. Whichever happens first.
It got moved because spammers like you gave the moderators the impression that it was off-topic.
"I used them for years - actually over a decade - and never had any problems with them other than they frequently wanted to renew my services."
Nobody actually gives a shit about this. Make your own thread about how you never had problems with them. This is a thread about how I was scammed.
Seriously, wish the mods were more serious about stopping spam on Bitcointalk. All this shitposting for a few cents.
