If its on the same hosting, then what's the way (to a different domain)?  And also how to do it without messing up cookies.
(I am assuming you are using cpanel, otherwise in place of File manager use FTP manager.)
First step is to take a backup of your forum, so that if anything goes wrong you can put it back.
After that it is very simple as your hosting is same. (make sure your new domain nameserver are pointing to the hosting).
1. Go to your old forum admin cp and change old domain to new domain in general settings and save it.
2. Go to file manager and copy all data inside old domain directory to new domain directory
3. Go to inc/settings.php and modify all instance of old domain to new domain
No need to do anything with database as it will be the same.
(Also make sure you have not written any rules related to old domain in .htaccess)

Now go to your main domain and your new domain will have your forum.
