Yes, talkbass is a daily staple of mine (just like LTG, though of course, if forced to choose, LTG would be my favorite).
It's been a bit of a cold-turkey separation for me. Seemingly bottomless well of interesting tech stuff to learn there, spanning all brands and eras. Drawback is the number of "troll" posts, wrong information, and there can be quite a lot of rude jerks too... I suppose it comes with the territory of such a large membership. It's certainly a much less personal environment. Having regular periods of downtime at the office though, I do miss it. Hopefully none of the information/data is lost and they'll be back on their feet again soon!
I still miss the DudePit!!
I never stepped foot in an online forum before 2007 (when I first learned about DarkStar pickups) but I do recall very hazily a handful of visits to the Pit. Unfortunately I mostly missed that party.

Comments wrt LTG?
This is lousy service from an ISP but a necessary risk if the servers are in someone's garage.
Just seeing this. The fire was not in the same ISP as where LTG is hosted.
I was too terse. I was wondering if the LTG ISP had offsite backups and a continuity of operations guarantee and whether you had mirror in your garage that could be online 15 minutes after you found out you needed it
