I am wanting to transfer Users and Posts from an antique forum.

Plenty of examples in the import scripts folder, there is no generic import tool. It’s likely going to require a small amount of ruby hacking unless you somehow get your data into one of the forums we already have an importer for, or do a 2 phase import.
