I recently had an admin from my site take a database backup.
he registered a domain that is very close to that of my own.
He has uploaded the database and begun the copy forum on his site.

What kind of options do i have here?
The site is for a club we have, it does not have anything registered other then the domain but the name is very well known within the circle we have.
