It also helped that this was basically the go-to site for FFXIV related RP. Back when I joined, most people were either here or they were coordinating purely in game.
There wasn't a lot of RP Tumblr usage either, so if you wanted to network, you came here. Properly indexed google results are also huge, which is something I think people don't always realize. You generally have to pay for bumped search engine listing or have to set up all the search engine optimization manually. (A skill I do not have.)
While I think there was a bit more activity in certain boards back when I started browsing late 2013 and finally registered in 2014, the RPC of today is pretty lively. It has gone through quite a few changes though!
