The Amiga community is still alive:

http://www.amiga.org/

http://www.amigaworld.net/

And many others, but those are the two "main" English language forums.

(EDIT: There's also a few print magazines still kept alive by enthusiasts. The largest one is "Amiga Future", printed 6 times a year in separate German and English Editions: http://www.amigafuture.de/ )

There's also a number of new machines you can buy that can run either classic AmigaOS (FPGA reimplementations - look for Minimig, Chameleon, ReplayArcade) or AmigaOS4 (PPC based) - AmigaOne X1000, and AmigaOne SAM460.

As well as two "clones" of the OS: MorphOS, and AROS. The former run on old PPC Mac's of various types mainly. The latter is open source runs on "anything" from Raspberry Pi's to modern PCs (either directly on the hardware, or hosted under Linux). Here's a couple of AROS distributions:

Two other OSes that were influenced by the AmigaOS were AtheOS and then a later fork of this called Syllable.

There's an "AmigaOS" release from '06 [1] (you can buy expensive PowerPC boards that run it) [2]
