The purpose of the Forum or Forum magnum (this is how the Romans called this forum, Roman Forum is a modern term) did not change; it was used in the same way. New fora (plural for forum) were added. The first new forum was built by Julius Caesar (the Forum of Caesar) during the Late Republic. The imperial fora which were added were: the Forum of Augustus, the Forum of Trajan, the Forum of Nerva and the Forum of Vespasian. The new fora were built to add to the glory of the men who commissioned them and because more space was needed for administrative buildings.

Why did rome turn from a republic to a empire?
Rome did not turn from a republic to an empire. The Roman republic already had an empire. In fact, much of Rome's imperial expansion occurred during the Republic. Rome's political system changed from republic to rule by emperors, not from republic to empire. This confusion is caused by historians who use the term empire in two senses. One is the commonly used territorial sense (the conquest of other peoples and their annexation into an empire). The other refers to Rome's period of rule by emperors. The change from republic to rule by emperors was a political one, not an economic one.
