Does Niche Determine Activities

[Nomad]

Do you think the niche of the forum determines the activities? I am asking this question because Chatosaur rebranded to Forum Island and this is not just a name change, we changed out focus as well, from a general discussion forum, we are building towards promotional and webmaster forum. Do you think we would have got better activities with general discussion niche or do you think we could get more activities now.
