How militant some developers have become about ditching ie6 doesn't really make sense. It decision seems pretty clear: if you are a site for techy users you don't need to bend over backwards to support it, and you can probably drop it; if you are a general-use site or site that plans on having 30+ year-olds you better have some support for it or you're taking a 25-30% hit.
We tell our ie6 users one time (at registration) that their browser is not up to date and that they should upgrade to ff or ie7 to take advantage of all of our features. I've seen this solution that looks nice and unobtrusive: http://www.pushuptheweb.com/ http://www.pushuptheweb.com/
I asked my girlfriend a few months ago why she never upgraded ANYTHING on her computer, ie6 included, and she said she only wanted to check her email and buy things, and that installing updates always took more time than she wanted to spend in the first place, and that she wasn't sure which updates to trust. Many people can't upgrade their browsers, many people don't care to, many people don't know why they should.
oh well. that's the world of warcraft that you play :)
