I still regularly visit TheGearPage forum for musicians (mostly guitarists), and it's still active.

There's also Hardforum for hardware related discussions, though I don't visit as often anymore.

Many others I used to visit are dead.

I guess there are still a ton of forums that cover a wide variety of hobbies/interests.
