Dropped support for IE6 as of Jan 1st, 2009. Will make sure websites can still be used in IE6, but will charge extra for pixel perfect display.

Beth of Callay Design says:

While most designs still look okay in IE6…I’m tired of nursing it along! The Internet has moved on and as long as we enable those who don’t have a new version, we will contribute to holding them back from experiencing it in its full magnificence! Enough is enough! I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they just don’t know better. Thus, it is up to us, the ones experienced on the Web, to educate them and help them along. Peace! –Beth McGee

Michael of Fuery Solutions says:

Sooner that IE6 falls into the proverbial Microsoft garbage heap the better. May it rest there for all eternity never to be seen, heard, or spoken of ever again! –Michael Fuery

Team Tejat Hamburg says:

Yeah, lets stop this!!! How about an invoice to Microsoft for all the extra work we did (no-one ever paid us for). Greets from Hamburg, Germany. –Team Tejat Hamburg

Shane of One Line Rhyme says:

After making a few cosmetic updates to my site and testing it on Firefox, Safari, and IE 7 I decided to try IE6 and low ‘n behold my site is unrecognizable. I just don’t have the patience any more to deal with this seven year old incapable browser. –Shane Krolikowski

James of BC Wars says:

The site is only in alpha testing right now, but it wouldn’t even work on IE6 because of all of the transparent PNG files I use for the site. So I have built the site from the ground up without the slightest support for IE6 and added browser detection so any user that tries to access IE6 will be denied and given download links to upgrade. –James Simpson

ilhan of Turkish MozillaZine says:

Hey!
Since the beginning of my site (Turkish MozillaZine) I do not support IE6. Actually it is not in my hands, it is their fault, even IE 7 is not capable to render correctly. You can see the message for IE6 at browsershots.org, it says “sorry, IE6 does not render correctly this web page, better you move to Fx, Chrome, Opera… We suggest you Firefox…”)

I have one another web page that is in Bulgarian (krumovgrad.eu). Now I’m developing a new layout for it (probably it will ready at the end of semester holiday), wich is XHTML 1.0 Strict. Do you know, even IE 8 (beta) does not know what is “object” tag! So I will use two different templates for this page, one for IE which will be the oldest one and I will not develop it anymore, and one for others; index_ie.php and index.php.

I don’t care about hits, I’m doing it for fun.

I’ll follow your site, nice job! 🙂 –ilhan

Enthusiasm: you’re doin’ it right. 😀

Brian of StuckPixel Studio says:

My company, StuckPixel Studio develops websites. We are about to start charging extra if clients want IE6 support. After March 2009, we will probably start charging SIGNIFICANTLY more to discourage IE6 use. Not only does it increase the development time by developing for an outdated browser, but it also limits our capability for delivering a superior product. –Brian Farris
