I have seen some other topics very similar to my problem, but unfortunately I couldn't find an answer.

What I want to do is moving ie. a story node to the forum.

How can I do something like this?

From what I can see, here's how you'd do it:

First, enable the forum module. Go to the forum admin page and create a forum.

Then find the term ID for that forum in the term_data table (for use below).

For the nodes you want to move into the forum, go into the node table and change their type to 'forum'

For each of those nodes, create a record in the forum table where nid = the node ID of the node, vid = the version ID of the node (from node_revisions), and tid = the term ID for the forum.

NB: This should work, or at any rate do no irreparable harm, but I haven't tested it. In particular, I did not try it with any nodes that already had comments. I just looked at what happens when a forum node gets created (using the Devel module). USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The module NodeType http://drupal.org/project/nodetype changes the content type.
