Moving Forum From Domain A To B

When my group started we had decided to make a separate site for the group which was separate from my site. Now we see one site will suffice. My question is can a forum with all posts and sign in info be moved from one domain to another.<br /><br />thanks <br />Shiryon<br />IDF Armour group<!--content-->
