Hi https,

The MyBB Merge Tool will allow you to do this, if I understand your needs correctly. http://www.mybb.com/downloads/merge-system

Then what do you do if that old site of yours is dead. And the domain is gone
If you no longer have the database for your old forum, then unfortunately you will have to start from scratch.

I have the database.

What do I do
See the Wiki Documentation on how to use the MyBB Merge System: http://docs.mybb.com/Running_the_Merge_System.html
Edit: delayed response
if your MyBB forum already consists of posts & users then use the Merge system (see guidance)
if it is a fresh forum without users & posts then you can try using the backup of database
