It doesn't matter how successful (or not) your recruitment threads are: until someone fixes those holes, the population will just keep leaking out.
Consider that everyone starts in a starting area, and if they don't enjoy playing there they probably won't keep playing on the server ... which makes it 100% of the time they spend on the server.
Once again, I don't expect Red to become WoW, but if Red were to learn a thing or two from WoW it could really help. For instance, disabling PvP in starting areas.
... so much fun you need to constantly beg people to replace the last batch of players who had so much fun on it that they left.

I messed around in FoB last night on Red with a new char and everyone had fun. We had a full group of 6, 2 of us were established and 4 new players to the server. Some twink came by and pked a necro in cloth in our group and then we all PvPed for about 20 minutes.
After a bit it ended in a stale mate since the fight made it to the guards. Other guy logged and we went back to exping.
With group/exp bonus and PvP we got like 8 levels in 2 hours. I bet if we were on blue we would have gotten maybe 5 levels.
I understand the attitude of thinking it will be overwhelming because of the head start others have gotten but you are wrong. New players make it fine and actually progress much quicker than they would on blue.
