Merge content (e.g. a forum, with nodes, terms and users) from one Drupal site into another

Question

How would I merge content (e.g. a forum, with nodes, terms and users) from one Drupal site into another?

Here's my specific use case:

I have a local site which just contains nodes, terms and users for a forum (these were imported with http://drupal.org/project/phpbb2drupal - and before you suggest just using it on my live site, I can't get it to work there, running into the issues described at http://drupal.org/node/1033316 )
I have a live site which has no forum, but has its own nodes, terms and users.
I'd like to merge the local site forum into the live site, adding the forum to the live site.

Drupal community have had a hard time searching for the solution for this problem, but I'm afraid there's no ideal solution for this. I too required this a while back but there is no one satisfactory solution for this. I ended using Deploy module but it is not reliable. — AjitS, Commented Oct 18, 2012 at 13:02

If it was just for nodes i would say use this:

As you need to migrate users and taxonomy terms as well I would use this:

Although there will be some php OOP coding to do.

Thanks. Surely this is such a common use case that's someone's written some php code I could nab?

Content migration between Drupals system is one of its biggest weaknesses at the moment, and one of the things that is being worked on for Drupal 8.
