GoDaddy, Meet NoDaddy
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/01/godaddy_meet_no.html

In the wake of GoDaddy's one-minute's-notice shutdown of his site last week,
Fyodor has launched an anti-GoDaddy website at NoDaddy.com.

The previous owner of NoDaddy.com turned down a cash offer and donated the
domain to the GoDaddy Sucks cause, Fyodor says. "I made an offer to buy the
domain from the owner, thinking I didn't have much hope because .com domains
are so expensive now. But he had such bad experiences with GoDaddy that he
refused money and donated the domain."

The Internet Archive shows the domain was previously used for gay male porn.

The question now, What will GoDaddy do?

   1. Send Fyodor a misguided lawyer letter claiming the site is a trademark
violation likely to confuse consumers.
   2. Admit it made a mistake in shutting down a popular computer security
website with less than a minute's notice at MySpace's request.
   3. Nothing
   4. Phone Fyodor's new registrar,DirectNIC, and ask them to take down the
site, or, as it will henceforth be known, "Pull a GoDaddy."
