    There's nothing you can do (legally) about it. It's just a list of catagories.

    I don't think you should be so upset at someone using the same category structure as you. Seems pretty minor to me. Now if he starts copying your design or forum descriptions, then you have a gripe.

    Imitation is a form of flattery? :)
    Your page doesn't load for me, but the offending page does. I hope it isn't an exact copy, as there are several typos :)

    Unfortunately, copyright laws won't cover your directory listings. They do cover your page design though.

    I know this is off topic here but where it says.

    I would probably add alittle bottom padding. :)

    Yeah, nothing you can do, and the issue seems small.

    If it makes you feel any better, you seem to be killing the offender's site when it comes to page rank.

    I went to the section wehre my forum would be listed, and you had a PR 2, they had a PR 0

    - let that speak for itself. that will be what webmasters and seos will look for when deciding which one to list with

    and not to mention you gave him free publicity and traffic from DP. I am sure he will this this thread one day from his referral log if at all he looks at them.
