There is a forum on www.dsource.org, but it's not very big at all.

I ask myself the same question almost daily.  You can, however, search the 
newsgroup archives on www.digitalmars.com with google - they're not entirely 
up-to-date, but they're pretty close.

I'm about 85% sure it uses early binding, since it's a statically compiled 
program (i.e. classes are not loaded at runtime like in Java).  I agree that 
a late-bound architecture would certainly be more flexible, but I'm not sure 
what performance and design impacts it would have on the internals of the 
language.
