Alright, here's my scenario.
I merged ForumB into ForumA.
ForumB + ForumA = ForumC.
But now, I want to merge ForumB again into ForumC.
Can this be done? Would everything be overwritten? Or would there be duplicate posts, topics and members?
It would duplicate all the posts & topics. Also forums & categories. Users get "merged" together if they already exist with same username & email.
Why do you want to re-merge anyways?
Well, on ForumB, I got new posts and members AFTER merging with ForumA. Therefore, I'd like the new content on ForumB to be on ForumC as well.

Please tell me you followed instructions and backed up both forums before merging? If so, you can revert ForumA to its pre-merge backup, and just redo the merge.
The problem will come if you have new posts on BOTH.
...and close all the forums while merging. It is better this way
