I had been wanting to participate in the Dec-29 mass de-activation protest but it just so happened that a handful of my domains were expiring on this 25th. Something I was very conscious about was the hoops and hassles Godaddy makes you go through for doing a transfer... I was not looking forward to wasting time figuring that mess out, but very thankfully the article from earlier today (http://blog.jeffepstein.me/post/14629857835/a-step-by-step-g... ) made that a hassle-free process.
I will be transferring some 50 or so domains over to Namecheap -- either because I own them, or have sway over friends/family who currently are stuck with them.
