If you are referring to two seperate FUDforum installations, then yes it is possible, however it would require a quite bit of work on your part.
Since the id cannot be maintained you will need to write a script that would convert the ids. Meaning that if you had a user in the source forum with id of 55, you need to insert that data into the destination forum and then equate the new user id to 55, so everywhere user id 55 is uses you will need to insert the new user id and so on.

Yeah, you can move messages from 1 forum to another pretty easy by using the move link...

I guess she wants not only to move 1 or 2 messages from one forum to another. She used the word "merge" what would mean:
1. take all the topics from one forum and move them to the other.
2. delete the empty forum and rename the other.
that's pretty easy to do if FUDForum doesn't supply a feature like that.
if you have a webinterface to your database as "phpMyAdmin" you can do one single sql query to move all the topics from one thread into another.
I've tested it on my setup but it failed. Don't know why, but it should have worked. Probably protoss could help...
UPDATE `fud23_thread`
set forum_id = new
WHERE forum_id = old;
whereas
- 'fud23_thread' is the your thread table (I'm using the prefix fud23_)
- "old" is the old forum id: look in your forum table (i.e. fud23_forum) and examine what "id" the forum has which will be emptied and what id the forum has which will be filled (the "new" one).
