Is Swollow some famous person to you or something?

hosting a popular server relies on the most basic thing; having players
players tend to gravitate only to the most popular servers regardless of what is being hosted

so once you get about 6 people on a server at once you'll get a steady flow of players
depending on how engaged people are either in A. your server or B. socializing with the number of players on your server, will decide the retention of the users on your server

very much this

i was hosting a build session with a couple friends and we decided to open public and just chill with others while building and we got like 18 people when the server was basically a freebuild with the title "nickpb drama 2.0" (title by zealot). still had 18 people 2 hours later even after half the server went afk to watch BLF Movie Night, including me.

you're pretty much guaranteed people if you can strike up conversation and keep the few stragglers who might pass by, assuming your server title is interesting enough to warrant someone to join to check things out

server titles are such a hilarious thing to be honest

as long as its interesting people will check it out

plastiware hosted a server that he was afk in called "Scuttlebug Jamboree" and i joined but sadly there were no scuttlebug jamborees

me and a friend (forgot who) set up a fnaf GAMEmode during its heyday and got around 20ish players
the gamemode and build wasn't half bad imo

Onetime I was hosting a server named "Chaos Fortwars" which was basically a Fortwars with very little rules, it got around 20ish people, I might host it again.

I get a few popular people on my server now and then. Even Badspot with a wonderful comment.

Others are..
Swollow
Filipe1020
Deadfall07 (but it's pretty obvious why)
Rotondo (said "Blockland 2" "is" and left, I followed with a reply of "a joke")
Tezuni
Pecon
Meta_KnightX (oh wait)

And I'll think that'll sum it up
