Johan De Gelas is working @anandtech... for more than a year IIRC.
General forum is pretty alive... with usual suspects and agendas (e.g. Paul "anti-amd" DeMone )
I used to love the CPU articles they had at Ace's... too bad they stopped updating it -- I still have my bookmark for it though! I check the forums occasionally, since they are, surprisingly, still pretty active.
