It's not surprising that LIGO and VIRGO (the European analogue) haven't seen signals, given the expected sources. Both observatories are currently being upgraded to more sensitive versions which will begin operations ~2015. The Advanced versions should see sources.

However, LIGO/VIRGO aren't a replacement for LISA, as they look at gravity waves of different frequencies: the sources they'd expect to see are different.
