    I had this guy as an Admin for 6 months and the forum went from 2000 users to 190,000 fairly quickly i was paying this guy 500 a month... so recently he decided he wanted a forum of his own so he stole my VB database and put it on another domain. he now sends email's to my users saying that he was banned and that the new domain of the site is blah blah blah and that its the real site and that i'm the hacker. I don't know how to put an end to this. What can i do in a situation like this.... i want to hire a hacker to screw with him because he screwed me but still i dont know where to start~!... any help is appreciated

    190 000 users forum is not joke, get a court injunction to stop his web site and sue for damages.

    if the guy is using a warezed vb script you have that against him too

    contact his host and domain registrar they will have to favor you as your domain will be registered before his

    then as said above take him to court/sue him slap a dmca on him

    this doesnt care about anything. I allready did all that and well he changed hosts and now the hosts tells me to go F myself..... i talked to vb and they sent him a DMCA and thats it...


    and the worst part is the SOB probably has a copy so all he'll do is just keep upping it....
