My favourite part of the site is at the bottom where there's the "Latest tweets about Save IE6" section and it's empty.

The best thing about that site is that if you visit it using IE6 you get a script error.

So, you actually use IE6 ? :P

So IE6 still accounts for about 1 million monthly page views on our site...about 1.5% of the traffic. Yesterday we took the plunge and decided to display an eyesore of a box on every page on our site if you surf to it with ie6. Example of message: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/6305769/ Imagine if many sites did this to spur the upgrade process. I'm really curious to see the results of this...will traffic plunge by 1.…

A lot of sites are doing that, I seem them all of the time while browsing around.

You should click to download it!

I think that was the funniest part of the site, thank you for pointing it out. I was afraid it might actually download IE6 at first...

Same here... that was the best part...

Has anyone tried browsing with IE6 lately? At the time, everything was probably compatible with it.. but my school still uses IE6 and I am finding more and more common web pages are broken by it. At this point, it probably serves more as a content filter than anything.

> I love how you can only open one tab at a time, thus focusing your efforts. Multi-tab browsing is the devil! Just seeing someone refer to IE6 as "tabbed", albeit single-tabbed, made me realize how far we've come.

I recall a friend who advocated "tabs" with IE6. He seriously used it that way, too.
