Maybe I should have elaborated more. I meant those two boards becoming more active. By becoming the new CE I meant being the most active social boards on site to replace the one that went private. Like when LUE went private another public board had to be one that got the traffic of those locked out of LUE.

Yeah, that's basically what I meant.

"Becoming more active" means new users coming in. If enough new users come in, they start to outnumber and overwhelm the people already there (most of whom have been there for more than a decade). Over time, the board culture would start to shift. Over a long enough time, and with enough CE refugees flooding in, PotD essentially stops being PotD and just becomes CE-Lite (or New-CE).

Most PotDers wouldn't see that as a good thing.

It's a problem CE refugees (refuCEes?) are going to create no matter where they choose to go, unless they just pick a completely empty dead board as a replacement CE. Flooding into boards with preexisting members/activity/history/culture is just going to kill those boards instead.
