Forum topics lost by not defining a Vocabulary first?

Hi all,

I rushed to create several forum topics on http://cms-forum.org, without 
carefully reading the Handbook, which says we need the Taxonomy 
vocabulary built first.
The topics contain several comments and multiple replies, gleaned from 
the CMS mailing list (quite a few hours work).
So when I navigate to Home >> Forums, are these Forum Topics lost?

After the fact, I created a vocabulary ("Fora") with the Forum Topic 
names, and I am hoping that there is a way to attach the nodes for these 
Forum Topics to the new Forum containers.
This problem could be avoided for others in the future. When we create 
content >> forum topic, we should be challenged to create Fora if 
nothing is in the Forum drop-down menu.
Thanks for any help...
