I wonder if Racket gets his domain from GoDaddy.

Is there a way to find out what websites use GoDaddy? I would love to know.

Racket DID use GoDaddy until sometime in 2007.

Apparently he does.

Does this mean you're going to boycott Racket Inazuma? :mrgreen:

That's good, but I visit many other websites too. If they use GoDaddy, I would consider emailing them about it and/or boycotting.

When I heard that Wikipedia decided to stop using GoDaddy, I donated money to them right away, lol.

*edit*
So this site does in fact use GoDaddy?! I sent a PM to Racketboy himself about it. Once he learns about this, he is sure to switch companies. It would be absurd not to.

I did provide a handy link full of apparent truthiness for you. I'm sure Racket hasn't been living under a rock for the past few weeks and is investigating options or has made a decision.

Technically this site could be shut down under SOPA for rom talk and advocation.

Yep. Racketboy would be shut down along with almost every other website out there. The internet would basically cease to be. It will be perverted into a big pile of corrupt advertising bullshit, just like television.

Anyone could get this site shut down by linking to a site that has one piece of copyrighted music. If a Racketboy spammer gets banned, he could fight back by doing just that and getting the entire site shut down.

Another very real possibility would be a big gaming company such as Sony, EA or Activision will get this website shut down because they hate used games. They post a link to some pirated software and bam, no more Racketboy.
