It was a little time ago, since I was here lst time:-)
But it seems that now are much more users active?
Is it true? Will Pascal get an Revival?  :-)

I think it will. The downfall of Delphi has great impact for Pascal community. But because Pascal language itself is a great language. They are not willing to let it die. Slow but surely the community will show the world Pascal will never die!

Some said Pascal users are the old seniors, young programmers are not interested to use Pascal. Maybe that is true, I see more and more 'seniors' join the community. That is a good thing I think. Seniors have experiences, they know many languages. It is good for the community.
