You could have done a complete SQL backup then run the script that it generates to rebuild the database - if you are using phpMyAdmin.

Just move everything over.
You'd be best of dumping the contents of each table as batch scripts then running them on the new server.
Posts will have a topic and will be by a user
Topics will be in a forum
Forums will have a category
Users will have private messages too (not sure what _text would be)
...
Move all.

You should be able to perform an export with any mySQL GUI or even just resort to command line prompts.

Damn - wish you'd said
Can't you just upload a fresh copy of the forum, get it working, then overwrite the tables?
