A few years ago, we ran a poll on RCRP asking how people found the server. You can view the results here - https://forum.redcountyrp.com/thread...-rc-rp.153039/

Looking at these results, we can assume around 25% of the server's population (myself included) discovered it by browsing the server lists. Obviously, that's only one server. You mentioned how LSRP was off the server lists for ages, but LSRP was a behemoth during its peak. RCRP has never been anywhere near the popularity that LSRP had during its golden years. Our highest recorded player count is 190, whereas theirs is 600. With such a stark difference in popularity, it was likely very easy for LSRP to keep getting new people due to the sheer amount of YouTube content & word of mouth generated by simply being that large. We weren't quite as lucky, unfortunately.

Pretty sure he got unbanned about a month after we launched on 0.3.DL. The server peaked well in the following months, which can be seen in the chart I posted a few pages back.
