how WRPIX.com was stolen from us by godaddy.com

For some damned fool reason, in 2012 we switched our domain name registrar to godaddy.com without realizing what a shitty company they are. I guess it's just proof that aggressive marketing and an extremely stupid company name can go a long way. Had we known that they support the slaying of elephants, that would not have happened. But, the reason we even found that information, is that godaddy stole our URL https://www.wrpix.com, which now defaults to https://www.godaddy.com. Here's their scam:

A)when the renewal came up, we received no notice.

B)we called by phone to sort it out and their representative lied to us and said there was no email associated with the account!
That seems odd since we registered the account by email to begin with!!

C)we called again and another rep said there was an email associated with the account but couldn't tell us what it is. they agreed to send us a notice/password change prompt, which we of course never received.

D)wrpix.com fell into their auction pool scam which we were told by them that we could bid on to buy it back from them. But first, we'd have to buy a special account that allows us to bid on their auctions!

In short, they cut us off from our domain name and attempted to extort us into buying it back from them.

Anyway, there are videos on youtube of CEO Bob Parsons, the guy who founded GoDaddy. He killed a bull elephant, then gloated over the dead elephant's body, then later tried to justify it and make himself out to be a hero. Lame.
