I’ve stopped supporting IE6 a while back, hurrah! 🙂

Brian Fling says:
I cannot agree with this more. IE6 should no longer be supported. Microsoft has ended its support of it, so should we.
The web standards movement wouldn’t exist had we not drawn the line in the sand on Netscape 4, we need to do the same with IE6. –flingLog

Hi,
I just dropped support for IE at my freelance portfolio site / blog, announcing it here.

I even created a copyright free logo for the occasion.

Don’t know if you can use any of the above, but feel free to if you can 🙂
So in other words, I support your deathmarch.

Awesome, thanks!

Don’t miss the awesome graphic.
WPLover ignores IE6 completely since the beginning. Haven’t regretted that decision one bit. Try to do the same with your site one day.
It’s liberating. –Hafiz Rahman
From an email from Marco:
I’m happy to report that I no longer test Instapaper.com in IE6. I actually don’t know if I ever did, but I sure don’t now: since the site’s core functionality requires a bookmarklet installation, and IE makes bookmarklet installation so clunky and difficult, I don’t have the time to walk IE users through it. And recently I added AJAX features and rounded corners that, while they degrade to acceptable functionality, they definitely don’t work in IE (6 or 7), and I’m unwilling to spend any time to hack together equivalent functionality that’s IE-compatible. As an individual doing this in my free time, I can’t afford IE compatibility.
Instapaper’s IE users, therefore, just need to accept an inferior experience. Sorry, but it’s either that or no new Instapaper feature development at all. –Marco Arment
mysqlgame is probably not displaying properly in IE. We suggest Firefox or another standards-compliant browser. We’re not trying to be jerks about it, it’s just there’s only so much time in the day to spend trying to defeat Microsoft, and we gave up. –http://mysqlgame2.appspot.com/
Youth With a Mission – Montana says:
However, if you are using an older browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, you may notice things throughout the site which look a little “off.†Internet Explorer 6 was released in 2001, and has since been replaced by version 7. It is increasingly difficult for us to support version 6. –YWAMM
