I like the "No IE Users allowed" idea. The problem is that the site works fine with IE8 and I'd hate to have to put some sort of shim in it for it not to work.
As for how it looks in any other browser... well, as long as you start off without any thought of IE in mind and you don't do any crazy IE hacks, any site pretty much looks the same in any other browser - funny how standards work that way. Actually, I'm doing some internal college site stuff and since all of the computers on campus have Firefox or Safari and now some even have Chrome, I rarely need to worry about IE so I try to not bother shimming anything and then one day when IE grows up and becomes a big boy everything will 'Just Work'. But there are the occasional users who have some crazy setup on their laptops. Generally we can just say "...um.... get Firefox..." but... anyway sorry for venting. I just hate IE.
