How many people still on here playing pb2?

would have loved a port to steam or something to keep the game alive and somewhat mainstream again.

I'd say most people are on Discord server, either PBD or PBC:

Silly parrot, no one uses forums anymore.
If you want an actual answer to your question, there is a fun graph on the players page on the website.
Right now, I can tell you that it can be anywhere between 4 players to 40 players on Multiplayer depending on the time you hop onto PB2.

A steam release would be nice, Lin (the other PB2 developer) wanted to do one but still unsure on where that is going.

Thank you for the welcome!

Honestly speaking, people are still playing PB2, either on Flash or H5 port.
.
There are plans for PB2 to be on Steam, Eric said he'll see what he can do after porting Flash features in H5 port, it is likely for the best and for everyone's workflow to not be interrupted.

As for current news, there are custom skins in H5 port now. So you can make and put your/their own custom skins to your custom maps.
