Why isn't INTPf on IPV6?

[Architect]

It is the 21st century and we ARE a bunch of INTPs ... with a few others.

Seriously it looks like you're using a paid hosting service, they should be able to provide an IPV6 stack. I got IPV6 running on my custom built router and have it throughout the LAN. This is one of the few sites I visit on a regular basis without IPV6.

IPV6 how betters the forum?

Yes, it is just an extension of a set of possible adresses. What's qualitatively different?
In fact having simpler ip is easier to manually type if one ever had to.

IPV6 is much more than than an address space. Access is usually faster because of several reasons. Routing is highly simplified (all mandatory header fields are at the front with the optional ones at the back, packet contains routing information instead of requiring server routing tables, etc), NAT nonsense is not required so packets aren't continually rewritten at your firewall, variable MTUs, and so forth. Second anonymity is greater due to address camouflage on the originator side (OS X and Windows do this, not sure if Linux supports it) and faster IP rotation (Comcast at least supports this). Plus all the IPsec and other improvements.

Other than all it's way cooler.

It's still not fully supported however.

Ipv4 is basically more manual and less commercialized if that makes sense. Ipv6 is the new internet, ipv4 is the old and the new. So, more access.
