They don’t do that too often, they only do it when GoDaddy has problems. Namedotcom hates GoDaddy as much as we all do.

I get why GoDaddy is a target for supporting SOPA /PIPA, but I don’t really get the logic of attacking innocent people who just happen to do business with them and probably have no idea what SOPA /PIPA is. Seems just shutting down GoDaddy.com itself would have been enough to make a point.

Luckily their domains sere still working. They are one of the only companies you can register .TC domains with (although recently they have become unavailable for new purchases) so I do not have a choice. I have the nameservers and DNS all registered with (mt) maybe that’s what saved me?

GoDaddy outage was caused by router snafu, not DDoS attack or anonymous – Web host debunks rumors that a debilitating DDoS attack took it down.

You miss the impact – it wouldnt make much sense to attack a single website of a company just to set a statement – but having more than 100000 people involved would be a much greater impact. It doesn’t matter for anonymous if the folks see them as good or bad guys – as long as they can achive the goal to show everybody “look whats going on there…don’t wanna see? kazaaam” know what I try to explain?
