If this was just a hobby site too, I would have probably carried on not supporting it too.

I gave up on IE6 for my personal site, but it's a hobby site. I have a full time day job which I love and don't have plans on ditching anytime soon. For your audience and purpose, it makes sense to me. I think it makes sense for the purpose of your site to continue supporting these users.
