Are there active D-Communities besides the official D forums here on
digitalmars.com? Everything I found so far is pretty outdated with the latest
news dating back 2 or more years. Is most of the D-Community dead or are there
hidden parts of it I can not find? And if it is dead, why did it die? D
appears to be a pretty solid language.

dsource.org is a big part of the community. It's a page which hosts D 
projects with forums and source control management. Also many of these 
projects have IRC chat rooms, most of them on the irc.freenode.net 
server. "D" is the name of the IRC chat room for general talk about D.

repository.

Ingrater, you may also want to check out
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi which is a D wiki.

Aside from what Jacob said, I think this newsgroup just tends to be where D 
users generally gravitate.

Also, since D is a langauge without any corporate backing, gaining awareness 
and respect has been a long uphill battle - but with steady progress though, 
and Andrei's book seems to be really starting to help too.

there is also the tango community.

check out here:  http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango

Also many of these projects have IRC chat rooms, most of them on the 
irc.freenode.net server. "d.tango" is the name of the IRC chat room for 
general talk about tango.

this group is quite active.

Although, I kind of wish that the digital mars newsgroups moved to dsource.org,
or
that dsource.org somehow links to digitalmars.

Being new to the D Programming Language, dsource.org was the first place I went
to
for information.  And seeing that most activity occurred 2 years ago, I thought
the language was dead.  I didn't give up and that's how I found digitalmars
newsgroups.

I suspect most newbies will check out dsource.org and be turned off by how
outdated the posts are, and quit there.  Since first impressions are important,
if
they get past that initial hurdle, they may always have in the back of their
mind
that D is a toy language and never give it any serious thought as to how to use
this language in their current project at work.

I suspect that this happens, and that would be too bad.
