I know the feeling. There's pretty much nothing that has never been done in the forum world these days. Even Makestation isn't as original as I'd like it to be. 
One option would be to start with a general niche with a topic you enjoy, and then to narrow it down from there. Many people start with a niche like gaming, then narrow it down to a specific genre of games or a specific game that has gained significant popularity. That often works when it comes to getting a more "original" niche. The only problem is that promoting at general discussion forums, etc... is harder, so it requires a more targeted advertising approach.
