Hope that makes sense!
Maybe I missed something in your question but I don't understand what you mean by having to move each message by hand. If you choose to move a topic to a new forum every message within that topic goes with it.

All you need to do is when a topic gets to a point that you feel it deserves it's own forum is
1. Go to your admin panel and create the new forum.
2. Return to your message board and open the topic you wish to move.
3. At the bottom of the topic click "move topic" then choose the new forum you created for where to move it to.

3 easy steps and you are done. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
