If you modify the scope of the site, or create a new one, just remember the kind of audience you will attract. The reason I like PC so much is that the people here are knowledgeable and mature. I don't know of any other cooling / hardware site that has as sophisticated an average user.
That may sound elitist, and maybe it is, but once the 'leet' kiddies start coming in droves, the quality of forums falls dramatically. Of course, the young kids are where the money is, who else can spend $500 on a video card every year?
One idea I really like is adding more electronics articles. While OC'n is becoming less useful and more about ego, electronics IS useful. You can make your computer much more reliable (relays, temp probes), give you more control over noise (PWM), and save energy (pelt controllers). I think there is a lot more out there that can be done too, from custom displays to home automation.
