Associating categories and entries with forums is used mainly to pick up viewing permissions and handle the autothread creation.

You can always edit a category and reassociate it with a new forum. If you tick the checkbox 'also update entries' then the entries will also use the forum for their permissions. However, existing entries will not trigger the autocreate mechanism - that only happens with new entries.
