Wonder if this will effect the site in anyway or could it maybe close etc?

A lot of of users on here are hosted with them. Maybe they have more info such as a email from the site?

I got no email from them about this, don't see why they would send one out, public will know anyway.

I wonder if Danica Patrick will still be the GoDaddy spokeswoman once GoDaddy gets bought.

I hope this does not raise domain prices if the new owners are greedy.

Domain prices raise all the time due to the greedy bastards that run them like verisign for example.

Hmm... what's the chances of getting a load of $1billion to buy godaddy?

Hope the new owners are nice and lower the prices. 🙂

They will charge more for the domains to pay for the price that they paid for the site.

I wonder if we could raise enough FP$ to buy it haha!

 

[Taz]

l0l the Admins would just give them what they need.

Interesting; I'll probably transfer my Go Daddy domains to Namecheap to avoid possible hikes in prices.

I hope they are sold to someone who has a sense of ethics.

Godaddy and ethics don't get along so I doubt it.

If you guys send me the money, I'll buy it! I promise not to use it for evil purposes!

Seriously, though, that's semi-scary.

But it was your choice to use Go Daddy in the first place, whereas you could have used another registrar, so you can't really complain about that.

Google could afford it.
