Dropping IE6 support and Iphone accessabilityFollow

Two small things, first the easiest. I cant get to this website on my Iphone. In range of G3, max connection, it just refuses to load the FFXI main forum page (clicked forum from the main page, and then FFXI General). It might load it eventually, but i dont feel keeping my iphone on the same page for probably 10 minutes so it loads will do me a lot of good. Is there an ad or something messing up the loadtimes? I have no problem with the new skin, i dont like it, sure, but it will simply take some getting used to. However, there's something going on there at the moment that doesnt let me get near right now. A problem i didnt have before in the slightest.

Second, a little more problematic. You mention at the top that you guys are dropping IE6 support.



Is there a good reason for this? Because as it stands now, atleast half the modern world is still using IE6. Most companies still have IE6, as well as just about every university and school. It might be "unsafe" or "a pain to code", but it's literally the only way a lot of us can view this website. Would you guys reconsidder atleast keeping the support for this? I understand the whole moving on to modern things, thing. But unless you're ready to convince most universities and the likes to move on too, you might lose a lot of people who can view the website.

Thanks >.>;

If by "at least half the modern world" you mean between 9% and 19%, depending on what site you go to. I have a hard time believing that the forum for a multi-MMO information website would have a large stock of people using such an antiquated browser. IE6 is the kind of browser that my grandma uses when she goes online twice a month on her dial-up connection.
