that really sucks, and to make it worst, his site is actually running more successfully than yours.

sorry jaxel, good luck with getting him to remove it. but from what i've come to notice, it's almost impossible to get people who stole your design to remove it. especially since he seems to have done a pretty decent job with it, and since he must've re-coded most of it himself, it probably was too much work for him to simply remove it and look for another one.

He didn't do a good job... it looks ugly as hell...

Either way... the way I see it, its easy as hell to steal a VB skin... just download all the images and download the CSS file... done.

It's a bit harder than that... Did you not modify any templates?

In any case, those who resort to stealing a style probably aren't running successful forums anyway.

I have found that the best way to stop skin theft is to contact the site owner, with a solicitors letter, if that fails then go to the server provider.

Here is some great additional advice:

Of course I modified templates... but if you look at his site, he hasn't (which is why it looks ugly as hell)...

lol,10 minutes is pretty quick

Usually a DMCA notice informing them of the ramifications of their actions, and what harm can potentially be done to them for using such stolen work: http://www.google.com/dmca.html
