This is the old D newsgroup. It has very low traffic because there's usually nothing to see here but old posts. The D community is now hanging out over at the new D newsgroup (and in a few other newsgroups with more specific purposes). There are also other NG's relating to specific topics, such as bugs, GDC, learning, templates, etc.

By the way, there's also a helpful wiki for D called *Wiki4D*.
